A review by baybooks
The Book of Gothel by Mary McMyne

4.0

This book was captivating! I enjoyed the retelling of Haelwise’s story and learning more about her history as a witch. The religious elements in the story spun a tale which some might find too over the top and this brings me to caution readers who might find religion to be a sensitive topic. Personally, it was depicted in a way that I enjoyed.
The love story is so sweet and devastating at the same time. The authors writing made these scenes so tender and romantic. I loved the relationship and felt Haelwise’s pain. She goes through so many obstacles and grows so much. The scenery is described in such detail, I was swept away into the environment.
