Thank you NetGalley for my ARC

WOW! This book was amazing! So many things I loved it about it! I haven’t read a lot of witch/coven themed novels before, nor have I read this authors other popular book, but I was blown away at the world building that was accomplished for this one book!! Watching Ayleth at the beginning of the book grow and change into who she becomes by the last chapter is just an absolute masterpiece! The ending line you realize is such a jab and honestly makes me think of all the movies about the witch so differently now! Also I want a cat more than anything after reading about Nettle her amazing companionship, she was the realest ally that’s for sure! 
5 stars all around I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a wonderful spin on a classic story
