If you’ve ever dreamed of hiding away from the world as a cottage witch but still a goddess in your own right, this may become your favorite book.
Things happen, but this isn’t an action or plot based narrative for sure. It’s a woman figuring herself out and where she fits in the world, even though she’s completely isolated from most of it.
I’d call it cozy, but it’s not simple or happy. It hits in the warm parts of the body and imagination, and validates those hidden parts of us like our urges to destroy men (and hoes) but also love them.
Would have loved more spice as the author provided in Achilles.
Narrator Perdita Weeks was excellent.
