The Witches of New York by Ami McKay
3.0
I was really enjoying this book for about the first hundred pages, but after that it seemed to become a bit formulaic and it gave me a sense of having read it before.
The book wasn’t bad — I think that I would have loved it in high school; but at 43 I found it a bit of a slog to finish it — I think my pace cut in half in terms of pages per day. The writing was fairly good, with interesting characters, and there were element of the story that I liked, but i mostly lost interest in the plot — not enough to give up on reading it, I kept hoping that it would catch my interest again, but I was disappointed in the ending which felt like I had already read it in other books.
I’m going to pass it along to a co-worker who I think (and hope) will enjoy it more than I did.
