I started "Weyward" deeply in the spirit of spooky season, and I was happily and totally enchanted!
It was less about actual witchy magic and more about the ways in which female connection and drive make us powerful; and in that latter mission, it packed a serious punch. All three main characters' storylines were captivating, and though I waffled on whose timeline I was most interested in at any given point I was equally enraged in all three.
This book did actually make me more mad than I expected it would, but the resolution of each story—and the ways in which they came together—made it more than worth it.
Will I add this to my favorites shelf? Probably. Will I recommend it to everyone I know? Absolutely.
