Thank you so much to NetGalley and Redhook for this ARC for review!
The Honey Witch is a sweet sapphic witchy romance between Marigold and Lottie.
When I started this novel I thought I would get to the point to DNF because it was so slow at the beginning. But by mid way I really started enjoying Marigolds adventure to becoming a great Honey Witch. I loved the writing style and it kept me engaged.
I just wish the historical background had been a bit more realised. I don't think there is setting a book in the 1830s and not commenting on the time period. While saying that, I was glad that queer people were just accepted and it didn't matter. But as someone who reads a lot of historical romance, I like the ones that actually make use of the time period.
The romance was quite sweet and Marigold building her own small family around her is what I really liked about this story.
