The Witches: Salem, 1692 by Stacy Schiff

dark informative slow-paced

2.5

So...this book has an impressive amount of information and facts.  Uunfortunately, it is written in a manner that i found hard to track and was really difficult to follow.  Timelines seem to cross over and back and the characters get lost in the many plot lines woven in.  At the end of the book, I feel all information is pertinent but the way it is laid out is does not engage artist time frustrates. 40 page chapters are too long.
