Slewfoot: A Tale of Bewitchery by Brom

adventurous lighthearted mysterious tense fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? Yes

3.0

This was fun but ultimately very simple. I felt the plot to be very predictable and it seemed like not fleshed out all the way maybe? I also didn’t like that the only indigenous characters were “very stupid” i felt that was lazy, especially considering the time period its set in. Also
Wallace’s death was not nearly satisfying enough.


HOWEVER! As a straight up folktale, it was super lovely and sweet. i bet this would be really fun to read out loud, or maybe if i was teenager. Classic defiant girl consorting with monsters story. I kind of wanted them to … kiss…
