The Burning by Laura Bates
4.0
[Disclaimer: e-ARC received from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own.]
This is a really enjoyable YA read with a feminist twist.
The story is a little slow to get going but, once it did, I really enjoyed the comparison between historical witch trials and the modern day 'witch hunts' and the way young girls are vilified for their sexuality.
Laura Bates did a really good job of invoking emotion from me as a reader and I also really enjoyed the strong female friendships depicted.
Highly recommend.
