The Honey Witch by Sydney J. Shields

4.25

emotional hopeful mysterious reflective sad tense slow-paced

“Anyone can be capable of something impossible— as a witch, she must believe that.”

i did not expect to cry reading this 😭 a moving story about love, magic, family, and finding your place in the world.

the cottagecore witchy vibes were top notch. i loved the detailed spell crafting and the day to day life on Innisfree. this will seriously want to make you run away to the country and live off the land in a splendor of nature and magic.

while i did love the romance, marigold's relationship with her grandmother althea moved me the most. i should've known from the foreward but i still cried.

a bittersweet magical tale 🐝🍯

“But what happens when the girl keeps living, when she ages proudly and defiantly, without abandoning imagination, or stories, or that secret wish to find magic wherever it hides? Well, then the poets would call her a witch.”
