Motheater by Linda H. Codega
3.5

I thought this was a really unique debut story about a queer witch trying to protect her Appalachian home! I enjoyed the characters, and the writing flowed naturally.

Dislikes:
- Too long. Needed to be cut about 50 pages.
- Writing needed some minor refinement. Multiple times throughout its 400 pages I found myself reading the same exact sentence. 
- At times the writing was SO STRONG but I feel like the author tried to beef the book up with unnecessary scenes that felt weaker and slowed the story down immensely. 

Overall a very great debut and would recommend to people looking for an easy fantasy novel taking place in a small town!
