A review by writerrhiannon
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow
5.0
I received a copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
I really liked Alix E. Harrow's previous release, The Ten Thousand Doors of January. When I saw she had a new novel and it was about witches, I had very high hopes...and I was not let down with The Once and Future Witches! Oh, it was so good. This book about witches is like The Physick Book of Deliverance Dane, The Witches of New York, or Wicked--a rarity since most currently published novels featuring witches fall into the YA or "sexy" adult categories. Full of folklore, fairy tales, and multiple methods of storytelling, The Once and Future Witches quickly earned a space as one of my favorite books of the year. Combining the women's movement and worker's rights into an alternative history full of witchcraft and women pushing back against the patriarchy while discovering their true identities, Harrow has indeed woven quite the spell!
