The book itself is well-documented, it's obvious that the author did her homework really well. There were great aspects to it, I'm not being a little petty witch to forget about them. Info-dumping was too a bit much at some points, extending the book more than necessary I felt like it was too much for nothing that couldn't have been outlined in a few phrases here and there.Īll those aspects made the reading slow and a bit unpleasant for me, because between not really connecting with the characters and the too-much-information passages, I kind of forgot about my initial excitement regarding the book. There were also lots of other characters that appeared out of nowhere and as much as I wanted to remember all of them, they kind of overwhelmed and confused me. I couldn't feel any kind of attachment towards the characters and they sometimes felt too lost in their own world, too stubborn, too shallow for their own good. But after about 1/4 of the book, I felt how I lose interest. I was very excited when I got this, I was sure that this is going to be such a great read for me and, in the beginning, it actually was, I was still pretty excited. This is an unpopular opinion, but it's my personal experience with it so I'll just say it as it is. I honestly, HONESTLY wished I could give this book more stars but I simply couldn't. Thank you, NetGalley and the publisher for allowing me an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review! But there will be.Īn homage to the indomitable power and persistence of women, The Once and Future Witches reimagines stories of revolution, sapphic love, motherhood, and women's suffrage-the lost ways are calling.
Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote - and perhaps not even to live - the sisters will need to delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.īut when the Eastwood sisters - James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna - join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten words and ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. In 1893, there's no such thing as witches.
Harrow's powerful novel of magic and the suffragette movement. In the late 1800s, three sisters use witchcraft to change the course of history in Alix E.
