I flew through this!
Found each of the three characters equally interesting, which normally I don't when there's multiple narators. 
I loved that the magical element was very subtle.

Uf. Intense but beautiful.
If you enjoyed Circe, you'll most likely enjoy this one.

Make sure to check CW!!

This book was a phenomenal read.  The three storylines were expertly woven together, showing us women across centuries taking back their power. This book deals with some tough topics. Please read trigger warning before picking up this book as I neglected to do.

4.5

4.5 stars…check your trigger warnings. The female characters of this book experience so many different types of violence from the men in their life. I think it basically covers every form of abuse women face which makes it a hard read. With that being said it is a fascinating tale of 3 women who are related and their experiences at different points in history. We have a modern day woman, one in post WWII, and one during the early witch trial days. They each have a very unique experience but are still tied to one another. I loved seeing how each generation had struggles but found strength to be better for the next generation. There are witchy elements and a cabin which made it the perfect fall book in my opinion
