Sarah

This is the 3rd book of Sarah Penners I have read and I think it’s my favorite. I like the style of writing and the back and forth timeline between the two stories. You fall in love with the characters and just have to know what happens next.

Had a really hard time with this novel. It’s been on my TBR for changes and I finally started to read it for my book club. I really had to proud through. It took me over 300 plus pages to even get into the story. The characters are very one dimensional and predictable. The overall idea for the book is a good one but I don’t think the execution worked out well. Overall don’t think I’d recommend this to other readers.

I read this book as part of my book club. I’d always heard about it but it had never made it to the top of my list. Overall I enjoyed the read but I was still left wanting. All the female characters through the generations seemed very similar and honestly I wanted more of the witchy vibe. The only thing that really made them witches was the connection with nature and I wanted the author to lean into it a little more.
