I’m a bit stuck on how to rate this considering I almost DNF’d it 5 times.
After loving the feminist, witchy book The Change early on in 2022, I was excited to pick up this octogenarian take on witches. Sadly, it wasn’t a winner for me.
I do like that Bianca made a departure from her previous writing projects as each author deserves to flex their skills in different ways.
So many POV changes that all occurred on the same day that made this a bit muddled. I think that the constant POV changes were not needed and that this could’ve been a little shorter. For how long this was, it took too long for the plot to pick up and come together.
Additionally, I’m a bit unsure on how to feel about the play on dementia/Alzheimers here.
