The idea for this book was really good. I was drawn in by the magic and strong female voices. However, the execution lacked. I found it took a long time to get into the modern story (Kate) and sadly I found her to be not as strong or able to help herself as the other two stories (Altha and Violet). I was really disappointed by a lot of Kate's actions and found she didn't serve much purpose besides unveiling Violet's story. For me, Violet was the main character and could have done with a novel of her own without her great niece. Not to mention, there are many many triggers in this book that made it hard to swallow.
