Don't know what to think about this book. At first I loved it and some parts I still love. Although the middle part of the book is a bit boring, (because it feels like nothing happens) I like the poetic writing and the mentioning of feminism and witchcraft and all this stuff.
The ending is what confuses and frustrates me the most. It's totally different from the rest of the book and the last 100 pages felt like I'm reading not the same book anymore but another one with a completely different story.
But I still like the first 250 pages and the style of writing so the book is still 3 out of 5 stars for me.
