The Science of Witchcraft: The Truth Behind Sabrina, Maleficent, Glinda, and More of Your Favorite Fictional Witches by Kelly Florence, Meg Hafdahl
4.0
The Science of Witchcraft attempts to explain details of magical tales in terms of modern science. Overall it's a pretty good book and can be read through or used as reference if you wanted to read based on what stories you already know.
However, there are some chapters that are only vaguely connected to the story they're titled for. The chapters were still interesting explanations of some weird science, but they didn't quite connect back to the witchery they were supposedly trying to explain and instead felt like the book had jumped down a wikipedia rabbit hole and forgot to finish reading the original article.
