4.5 stars.

A well-written witchy debut told in three weaving timelines. A good page-turner of a read with good atmosphere and interesting characters. A highly feminist novel with some good historical content.

The witchy content was perfect, focusing on nature and the resources available for healing. If there was any portion of the book I would have specifically enjoyed seeing more of it would have been these particular endeavors.

The characters are strong and resolute, though they do start off somewhat weak. I very much enjoyed following their character arcs and watching them break free of the bonds they were being held in. They were all clever, smart, and resourceful women with good hearts and lots of determination.

The three storylines are very well timed and woven together. There is a lot of talent to this writing and the construction of the novel. It does not read like a debut and shows intense promise for future novels from Emilia Hart. She will be one to watch.
