This one wasn't really for me.
It felt disjointed at the beginning flipping back and forth between many stories of the witches, and I didnt really get into it after that.
Hopefully others will enjoy more.
If I had to describe this book I would call it “cozy fantasy.” I wish I had found and been approved for it earlier this fall. It would have been a great porch read on a cool fall evening.
While I liked the vibes of the book, sometimes the story was confusing. I believe this was due to editing. For instance, in chapter 4 Theda thinks if she kills FOUR people many would live. Yet at this point her grandmother had only told her she had to kill Ingulf and his father. It isn’t for another few sentences later the grandmother informs her she must also kill her parents. There was a few instances of things like this.
At one point it talks about Richard getting Gaia an apartment in Holt, yet nothing had been mentioned regarding her divorce yet. So that was a bit confusing.
Again, I am assuming there are things that got missed when things got moved around in the editing process.
Aside from that it was a pleasant read.
Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for granting me free access to the advanced digital copy of this book. A gorgeous 4 star read book from me. What an exciting plot, vivid storytelling and relatable, rich characters. I could put this book down – absolutely loved it.
A fantasy story about troubled twin sisters. One has challenging behaviour and will always need care. Her sister chooses to tend to her at home. They both happen to be witches. There are ancient curses, a magical tree, spells, a real sense of place and the history of witchcraft. Suspend belief and enjoy!
I thoroughly enjoyed this different and special book .It is a story of love ,family and betrayal. Very atmospheric I felt I was really there ,perhaps it was witchcraft !! A lovely book of Family and past generations ,some lovely characters ,I particularly liked Myrtle and Harry.A very special read . Thank you to NetGalley for my ARC.
This story is about betrayal, secrets, endearing and true love, and found family.
Favorite character: Harry
-He is kind, gentle, protective and caring, and all the good things we hope to have in a partner. He reminds me of a soft place to land and he is comforting.
Favorite Quotes:
“I fell in love with you the first time I met you, and when Mel captured your heart, mine broke.” -Myrtle
“We’ll never forget the past; it is part of who we are, but we can put the sadness in a box and release the happiness we both deserve.” -Harry
I’ve started to choose books to read based on the cover alone. More times than not, it’s a pleasant surprise. This is one of those books.
The atmospheric imagery in this allows the reader to be transported to their world and I felt like the pages came alive as I read.
