Thank you Bookouture for the ARC!
This book has everything that I asked for! Odysseus and Penelope vibes of finding each other in any lifetime? Perfect. Sisterhood focus and the relationship between women? Perfection. Witches! YESS
I loved the switch between the Salem trials and the modern era, and how the change impacted them. I also really appreciated how it explored that this was a result of male jealousy, not anything the women did wrong. Men could learn to take rejection.
I do wish we had spent more in the magic system. It felt like the rules could have been more explored.
