A review by cvissers
The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston

4.0

I was a bit skeptical of this book because of the mixed reviews, but I enjoy witchy things so decided to give it a shot. Very slow start, but once it takes off, it takes off. Bess was a pretty well rounded character in my opinion. She suffers many trials throughout her life. This book was very heavy in a sense that nothing good ever really happens to Bess; it's actually pretty dark. If something of praise does happen, it's ended quickly.
I really like that there were actual pieces of history intertwined into the book. The Plague, Witch Trials, Jack the Ripper, and WWI, but again, all dark times throughout history.
