challenging dark emotional reflective tense medium-paced

  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

5.0

It’s only fitting that my first read post Trump’s re-election is that of a woman violently put on trial for the sole fact that she is a woman.

“If it’s a witch they want, then it’s a witch they shall get” 

I love visceral and violent female rage & evil men & religious extremists getting it fucking HANDED TO THEM….. 

I went into this book expecting a 1600’s Salem Witch Trial novel, & this was sooooooo different then what I expected. This book tells a story of feminism, autonomy, gender, and most surprisingly, it’s arguably most notably a story about the sacredness of earth, and nature and how we should protect it from the corruption of man™️. This book ate the fucking house down I am so flabbergasted.

Wholeheartedly, dark fantasy in the style of Princess Mononoke meets Pans Labyrinth with the primal female rage of a woman deeply wronged during the time of extremist puritan settlements in America. 

Brom is a new Insta buy author for this one holay molay.
