jaedia's review against another edition
Stalled out halfway through because it got too bogged down in details and lost the magic that the first third or so of the book had.
Spoiler
Specifically, a third of the book should not be taken up by the files of the Mayfair Witches if they aren't fun to read...isamgc's review against another edition
It wasn’t interesting enough for me to contine for 930 pages after the first 30 pages.

Reread. I don't know what I was thinking last time I rated this 5 stars.. I love the historical aspects, but not the incest, and definitely not the ending.

there was simply too much incest in this book (meaning any at all), a lot of sexualization of children and it could have been literally 500 pages less (anne why did you write this)
