Here are the bare bones of my thoughts: this was a very thoughtful, emotional book. But it was not well written. Being Canadian, I'm not as in on a lot of these shooting stories nor am I provided with the information in the same way others get it and this really opened my eyes. Still, there were parts of this book that reminded me of my Wizard of Oz script minus all the stage direction. I have a lot more to say and I'm quite muffled and tired from staying up late. Please stay tuned for a video review or discussion.
It's an enjoyable book. not amazing, but it is well-written and interesting for the most part. there were a few perspectives I didn't care for. Would recommend this.
Been wanting to read more from this author, so this was a short but nice piece about a biologist on the brink of humans leaving earth because of an asteroid. Reminded me a bit of the TV show Salvation. It has a nice message about hope and survival.
I met the author outside NYC Public Library on my trip there. I didn't have enough cash to purchase a book, but I bought this ebook upon finding WIFi to connect my kindle to.
I really enjoyed reading this on the plane ride back. I found it very enjoyable and sweet., It's been a while since I've read a book told in letters and this one didn't let me down. It was sweet and heartfelt and I enjoyed the prose.
I would recommend to someone looking for a quick sweet read.

I was provided with an arc via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
My x meets x pitch for this is Downton Abbey meets Macbeth. It's got all the class, money, and elite socialites mixed in with three witches each with their own agendas.
This book was very well written. All the characters were very well developed, even the "villain". Everyone had clear motives and were given the right amount of page time. This book was a success technically. My favourite character was Annis by far, being the wise beyond her years and modern for her time character that she was, but I also love how that came out not in a needlessly rebellious way but with actual interest that served to forwards the plot. Also, I very much appreciate her horse-crazed nature, as it was something I went through and, had my mom not been allergic to barn dust, I might be a lot like her.
On the subject of witches, I liked how it was handled. Having taken a class on witches and witchcraft in literature, I appreciated how witchcraft was seen as something powerful and manipulative, but also empowering and useful. It was something that didn't just pit woman against woman but also brought them together.
In the end, this book was incredibly well done and impressed me. It was just lacking that special, person-dependent spark to make it an all-time favourite. I would highly recommend this to historical fictoio0n fans or light fantasy fans. Definitely both.

Similar to my thoughts on Circe by the author; the writing was amazing but I found that the story gre thinnabd boring after a while. It was a good read.
(WHAT?: I LIKED THE FILM MORE!)
Wow, that was something. Something good. I have to say I'm the movie was quite faithful. This is similar to [b: A Monster Calls|8621462|A Monster Calls|Patrick Ness|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1485991317l/8621462._SX50_.jpg|13492114] in the message but I enjoyed this a bit more.
