A review by perjacxis
The Furies by Katie Lowe

4.0

"Even in this fragment, however, it seems that women are doomed to two fates. It is our lot to be seen as either unpredictable and irrational mortals, maligned and repressed by the actions of men, or sacred beings, goddesses of a higher realm, among the Fates and Furies."

The Furies ticks so many boxes for me (coming-of-age story, witches, female anger, ...) and was one of my most anticipated releases this year. I loved all the themes Lowe uses, the research she has done and you can feel how passionate she is about these topics. I loved looking up all the paintings that were mentioned in the novel. The only thing that made this between a 3.5 and 4 stars novel for me were the characters. I never really connected with them and they could feel a bit flat, unfortunately. But I adored so many elements of the story and will definitely read whatever Lowe writes next.
