A Secret History of Witches by Louisa Morgan

3.0

I'm torn on this one. I really loved certain parts—the beginning and the end, especially—but other parts were exceedingly frustrated. A few of the main characters were so unlikable (especially the third witch) and it often seemed like none of the new generations ever learned from the past ones. Honestly it seemed like none of them ever learned anything, which was ironic, considering their power as witches was rooted in their ancestry. This book was certainly strongest in the family bonds and connections, and I enjoyed that the most. Unfortunately I was also frustrated by the depiction of witchcraft, which was very "spout a random couplet and the things you want will happen." As a witch myself, it was... annoying, to say the least.

Still not a BAD read, though you might find yourself wanting to put it down somewhere around the second and third generation.
