For more of my reviews, check out my blog.The sequel to [b:Witch Child 803120 Witch Child (Witch Child, #1) Celia Rees https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1630493975l/803120.SX50.jpg 1347107] is an enormously sad tale. Mary's life was hard to begin with, but in this book, it just gets worse. She's tossed out of the Puritan village she was living in, and joins the Natives to live with them. Now, the life of the Native American was and is to this day, incredibly hard, but Sorceress takes Mary's life and basically grinds it into the dirt.Is it still a book that I hold dear to my heart? Yes. I love Mary, and I love Jaybird. This is one of those books you read when you know you need a good cry. I've never – in the twenty years that I've read this book – have been able to read it from beginning to end without shedding a tear. It's a tough read, but one I'll definitely go bac to time and time again.
