4.0

Medieval, gothic, gory, and gross. Otessa uses dark humour and her wild imagination to bring out the worst in all the characters. Explores themes of religion and feudalism. An effortless read (if you don’t mind the gore).

If you liked this book, check out the 2015 movie “The Witch” by Robert Eggers.
