Hour of the Witch

If thou are afraid to read a book with old English, prithee take the chance to give this one a read. Seriously though when I first picked up the book, I was worried it was going to be like reading Shakespeare with language we do not use today. I kept reading though it and for some reason after about 25% into the book you barely notice the language and the book is one of those books that are hard to put down as you really have a connection with the lead character Mary Deerfield.

Unfortunately, if you know anything about history you pretty much know what happens to anyone accused of being a witch. I do not think this is a spoiler at all.

The characters are rich, the setting describe nicely, and the pace of storytelling is quite fast. I really enjoyed this one. I gave it 4 stars as I usually reserve (recently) to books that change me as a person. Really great book and I hope to read other stories by this author.
