[ Thank you to the publisher for sending me an electronic advance copy in exchange for my honest opinion. :) ]
Nature. Women. Witches.
To follow those three women, with similar fates despite the years between them, was gut-wrenching. But it also spoke of resilience, of sorority beyond the years, and of the power one can find inside even when everything gets dark. I loved it, despite some moments where the cruelty of men made me want to throw my tablet at the wall and disappear forever. Now I have a few months before I can pick up a finished copy, and I can't wait (can we talk about that cover ???).
