Summary:
Our mother was a witch too, but she hid it better.
I miss her.
To me, the magic feels like a curse. According to the Brothers, it’s devil-sent. Women who can do magic-they’re either mad or wicked. So I will do everything in my power to protect myself and my sisters. Even if it means giving up my life—and my true love.
Because if the Brothers discover our secret, we’re destined for the asylum, or prison... or death.
The Review:
(This is another short review. I did make notes on this one, but nothing much more than a few dot points.)
Jessica Spotswood delivers a beautiful paranormal-historical story that is, at its heart, about sisterhood. While the story moved at an alarmingly slow pace, I adored the protagonist Cate's devotion to her sisters in a time of peril, for they are witches. Once the main plot points are finally met, it will be a rush to the finish to find out where this leaves the sisters.
