Mother Knows Best: A Tale of the Old Witch by Serena Valentino

2.0

---

I picked this up without realizing it was part of a series, so I had no frame of reference for the Odd Sisters or the bigger story being told. Possibly my opinion would have been more favorable if I’d read the previous books in the series? I didn’t care for the writing, particularly in the early chapters. Overall I would have preferred a first-person view from Gothel’s perspective over this dialogue-heavy emotionless style. It was, however, an interesting take on Mother Gothel’s backstory.
