4.5 stars.
I am intrigued. Brom can certainly write a fantastic tale. A tale of Puritan New England with a mix of fantastical and dark, this story had me giddy. It's a great read for the fall season, but also perfect anytime of year for those who love tales of witchcraft.
This is no subtle and quiet tale of a supposed witch. This is horror with devilry and destruction. It is dark and brutal. There are moments of serious gore. The plot can be a little slow in a few parts, but there is a lot wrapped up in this story and in a morally gray...dark gray...protagonist. It's always a weird feeling to be rooting for a protagonist who so clearly goes against the moral grain, but oh it was a delicious read. I regret nothing.
