Night has fallen, and the witching hour is upon them. Or at least, the witching hour for elderly witches who can't be arsed to stay up until three in the morning like they used to in their prime.

If you enjoy the Netflix show, Grace and Frankie, but want more witchy shenanigans with it, then you'll love this book. I honestly aspire to be like the women in this book as I age. The Witches of Moonshyne Manor is full of witty humor and banter along with the heartfelt struggles and camaraderie that comes with a sisterhood of witches. Each character is distinct from one another, but still meshes well with the overall group. I really enjoyed the multiple POVs because of this. The spells dispersed throughout the chapters was another added bonus.

As Queenie looks at Cotton Mather, she still can't understand why, for so long, people feared the witches instead of the men who burned them alive.

I won't go into too much detail of the plot in order to avoid any accidental spoilers, but it's almost unnerving how much it parallels actual events occurring right now in women's lives. The trials and triumphs of these characters are something that many women can relate to, and Bianca Marais gives such great and poignant insight how the past can affect the future, and the importance of supporting future generations. One thing I wasn't expecting but was extremely pleased with was the diversity and representation of the characters in this book. Another added bonus to an already amazing book (in my opinion). Definitely a 5/5 star read for me!
