A review by lolajh
The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. Harrow

Did not finish book. Stopped at 32%.
The beginning was really phenomenal and was really beginning to get me out of my reading slump. I was just in LOVE with the writing style and the worldbuilding of it. It made it so impeccably easy to read and slowly become immersed in the world. But then it slowed down quite a lot, and the plot isn’t quite interesting enough for me to continue.
I don’t like the whole outing thing Agnes did to Beatrice, and the whole fighting between them.
June was kind of the only sister who really intrigued me (my aroace queen!) and yeah, I can’t see this plot developing into anything more interesting. Very unfortunate after that strong opening 😫 Also, I don’t care if it’s accurate to the time period, but Beatrice referring to Cleo
(who’s meant to be her love interest btw)
