In the Devil's Snare: The Salem Witchcraft Crisis of 1692 by Mary Beth Norton
3.0
I loved this book because I got to learn so much about a subject that I've always been really interested in. And it seemed like there was a lot of good information in here, everything was very detailed and in depth. I also loved the argument that the atmosphere of the wars is what really set the stage for the trials to blow up the way they did, I think that makes a lot of sense and it's a perspective I didn't know a lot about before.
However this was still not a fun book to read. It felt like a huge information dump, and even though it was interesting information I felt like it wasn't put forth in a very interesting way. It took me a really long time to read this because I was just pushing and struggling through it and there was so much dry information it was really hard to keep track of and get invested in.
