A very readable collection of short stories about witches and magic. Covering various themes and tropes, some were stronger than others but on the whole, a solid collection

While I didn't love every story in this collection, I did really enjoy the majority of them. Since this was a collection of witchy short stories, it didn't bother me that I didn't completely love them all. I really liked hearing stories from different cultural POV; I would absolutely read another book like this (and I plan to!). Overall, I would recommend this book.
