A review by kimmiereadsalot
The League of Gentlewomen Witches by India Holton

3.0

I really want to love this series. It’s my second go. The first I read the physical copy. This one I thought I’d give audio a chance. But while it theoretically has all the components of a book I’d love, there is just something about this series that doesn’t pull me. I can’t seem to get fully invested. 

I liked this one fine. I just didn’t love it. There are so many characters. It can be hard to keep them straight. And it’s super quirky, but idk. Is it too quirky?

I have not read My Lady Jane but did watch the series and fell in love. I think this book being done as a show in the same kind of ott, cooky style would be super enjoyable to watch. But for some reason, this series just doesn’t work for me in the written form. Maybe because it kind of does feel like a screen play in some ways. Idk. 

Not a bad read of you like historical romance with whimsy and a touch of the paranormal. 

I’m giving a middling thumbs up with the recommendation to read if you’re up for a different take on historical romance.
