3.5
A gripping story with an endearing protagonist. Nonetheless, I feel that the author tried too hard to stay close to historical accounts of the Pendle Witch trials, and as a result some events seem a bit forced.
Graphic: Animal cruelty, Animal death, and Miscarriage
Minor: Child abuse and Sexual assault
