The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff
1.0

Wow, this one was honestly a struggle to get through. The events it wanted to describe were interesting but the writing style felt dense, overly description, and included way too much. Several hours into reading it I just started speed reading until I found something interesting.
It was also hard to tell what the author thought was true versus fantasy, she talked about so-and-so appearing in the rafters with the same style that she used to say that so-and-so rode a horse across town. It honestly felt confusing.
I don't actually think I'd recommend this to anyone, in fact as a result of our bookclub reading it we ended up recommending a different book and two different podcasts.
