This book has some great themes: we’ve got a witch fighting corporate capitalism, an anti-industrialism and colonialism story, an environmentalist message, exploration of generational trauma, and a love letter to the land of Appalachia.
However, the way it’s written just wasn’t for me. While I can appreciate and enjoy stories with unlikable characters, they made this one difficult to be immersed in- I think the best character was the mountain (which might or might not be alive and killing people). There is also a lot more religion than I was expecting, and I think my lack of knowledge here separated me from being able to truly appreciate parts of both the prose and the plot.
I feel that I could recommend this book, but it just wasn’t for me.
I want to give a huge thank you to Netgalley and Kensington publishing for the ARC!
