annarella 's review for:

The Familiars by Stacey Halls
4.0

A solid historical fiction, well researched and interesting.
I liked the description of the historical background, the women condition and how the witch hunt worked.
It's a bit slow at times but I think this helps to see in a better way how the characters evolve and how they are involved in a historical event.
Fleetwood goes from being a spoiled young girl to a woman able to fight and stand for what she cares.
The cast of characters is well written and fleshed out.
I will surely read other books about the Pendle process and look forward to reading other books by this author.
Recommended!
Many thanks to HARLEQUIN - MIRA and Netgalley for this ARC
