I liked Mary as our story teller. I do, however, feel a bit cheated at the end, I want to know what happened to Mary and Martha and everyone after they all fled. That’s when goodreads showed me that there is a sequel! I’ll be on the look out for it!

An old favourite, really happy that I found this and the sequel in a thrift store. Reading that one after this!

3.0

A very interesting concept of for a book, combining the popular and effective diary style of fiction with historical elements. This also obviously has similar themes to The Crucible, hence why I was drawn to read it for my PGCE. However, I felt as though the action and excitement only really picked up towards the end, hence my slightly lower rating.

'In città vivono nove streghe,
tre vestite di lana,
tre vestite di stracci,
tre del miglior velluto...'

La prima parte del libro sembrava promettere molto bene, più delle tre stelline che alla fine sono stata costretta a dargli.
Il ritmo della storia era più frenetico e la trama più imprevedibile ma poi si è tutto sgonfiato un pò. Il finale era fin troppo facile da indovinare, e se c'è una cosa che proprio non mi va giù in un libro è un finale prevedibile (chiamarlo finale forse è un parola grossa, dato che in realtà un vero e proprio finale neanche c'è visto che la narrazione viene troncata di botto sul più bello).
Libro carino comunque, per passare qualche ora ma niente di speciale.
