Slow, flat MC who's motives were impossible to relate to. Scots are all ugly brutes with no redemptive qualities.. snore

Finally finished this book! I thought it was super interesting and a great retelling of the story. I wish the pacing of the beginning carried through more to the end as it felt a little bit rushed for me but I loved the characterisation of Roscille and the witches.

It was a good read to start this spooky season.

I think this book was a big challenge for me, as it was something outside of my comfort zone, mainly because the language was more erudite than I'm used to.

The story was super interesting and I didn't expect to guess the big revelations that happened. I really liked the story about the representation of female strength.

However, I didn't find the story very spooky just a little dark and sad... it could be because I read a lot of dark romance books.
