Hour of the Witch by Chris Bohjalian

3.0

Overall very good if you are studying or interested in puritan culture and thought process. If you are wanting a witchy novel this isn't exactly it. It has some long dialogues that on audio I listened to at 2X speed to get through it lol. I felt impatient to know what big thing may happen and it felt underwhelming. But I do love that some of the themes brought up were on a woman's birthright to sexual pleasure, and at the very least kind treatment by their partners. Was grateful for how it ended with the story progression! But kinda 50/50 on recommending honestly. Mostly because I had a different idea of what it was- to be fair. The author obviously did a lot of research on puritans and i learned a lot about how they viewed their faith and purpose on earth.
