This was recommended to me for my love of all things witchy and it did not disappoint!

I listened to the audio book and I have no complaints about the voice acting. It was a good performance. 

The positives: The multiple points of view mirrored each other quite nicely. The beautiful descriptions of crows and insects itched my brain and inspired me to paint a few paintings.  I loved how Violet’s interest in science mirrored her witchiness. I was interested in the authors comparison of male manipulators/abusers over generations. It’s a reminder of how far we’ve come and how far we have yet to go. And we as women are always stronger when we are uplifting each other. 

The negatives: Kates character was missing a little depth in the end. I wanted to know who she became after finding her strength. Altha is already developed and we learn a lot of Violet’s adventures. I wanted the same for Kate.
