⁕ The maiden/mother/crone metaphor can be hit or miss in most witchy tales. I LOVE that Harrow uses it to explore how differing phases of life and priorities may affect the ways women relate to the suffragist movement.
⁕ Harrow’s style is very unique. She mashes together the extremely poeticized language of traditional western fairytales with quirky, sometimes vulgar dialogue. For some this may be an acquired taste, but I found it to be both hilarious and refreshing.
⁕ I appreciate that Harrow approaches feminism from an intersectional lens. HOWEVER, the story is still presented from mainly a white, western European perspective. Characters that deviate from this narrative feel haphazardly thrown in to advance the plot for the 3 sisters and aren’t given the in-depth arcs and development they deserve.
