A review by shanisol
The Coven by Harper L. Woods

2.0

This had promise starting out, and I was interested in the story, but it turned into a miss for me. The magic, the witch politics, the deal with the vessels - these all had really cool potential and should have been expanded on. Instead, the plot revolved around

the inexplicable need to get rid of the vessels. I’m not sure if it was supposed to be obvious - like just because they are demons - but I wanted something more than that.

I liked Willow initially, but she’s turned into a plot device in Gray’s story, and her naïveté was painful. She’s supposed to be 20 and trained her whole life for this one purpose, but then she does nothing but flounder. There were some random contradictions throughout, and with the relationship between Willow and Gray. I just am not invested in anything enough to continue.
