Toil & Trouble: 15 Tales of Women & Witchcraft by Jessica Spotswood, Tess Sharpe
3.0
Overall: 3.4/5
1. Starsong: 1/5 This story kind of made me think I don’t enjoy YA anymore. I rolled my eyes quite a bit.
2. Afterbirth: 3/5 A bit meh just fine. Almost like it could’ve taken place in The Crucible. The ending was very sweet.
3. The Heart in Her Hands: 3/5 Some of this felt super interesting and like I’d love to see a novel from it so everything could be more fleshed out. The ending, however, felt super deus ex machina to me.
4. Death in the Sawtooths: 4/5 I really felt for our main character and was drawn into this one. Very good stuff.
5. The Truth About Queenie: 4/5 Really great character development with unexpected but realistic relationships. You really feel for Queenie.
6. The Moonapple Menagerie: 5/5 Felt like an episode of My Little Pony in the best way possible
