The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith

5.0

Thank you NetGalley and Simon and Schuster for an advanced readers copy of this book

The Witch Haven by Sasha Peyton Smith is a YA historical urban fantasy. While I found the beginning slightly slow, once all of the world building foundations had been built the story took off and was extremely well paced. Through out the whole story the writing was fantastic.

The way queer witches were included in the story was incredible, with the casual mention of non binary people with magic and wlw characters (most notably there is a side character who is lesbian). All mention of queer people was natural to the world and not out of place in anyway.

As soon as I finished this book I desperately wanted the second one. Smiths storytelling is incredible and I look forward to reading future works of hers.
