If I didn't have a Kindle Achievement to fulfill I would have DNF'd. The story centered around 3 women and the similarities surrounding their trauma and brutality. It almost felt like it romanticized isolation. The whole "only women can be witches" trope feels so old for 2023. If you like historical genre for the bad sides of history it's a good book for you.
