"He was a man, after all. He had no reason to think he would not be believed."
I'm on a mission to read all the books I can about witchcraft in order to have the deepest understanding of the causes of the persecution of females, many of whom were often simply introverts, healers, and odd in some way, for centuries. These stories also help me feel more connected with my kind.
The positives...fast-paced, good writing, empowering.
The negatives...formulaic, totally predictable.
There's a chance I'll remember it over time, but an equal chance I won't. Either way, I'm very glad I read it, especially because it's helped me further my mission.
