The Once and Future Witches

It took me a while to finish this one, not because it's boring, quite the contrary. There is plenty of action, and Harrow makes you care about her characters in such a way that the tension and set-backs are almost too much at times. As in her other novels, she knows how to dig in the themes of loss, anger and reconciliation. Her vivid prose drips metaphors much better than this one, and her use and reinterpretation of fairy tales and children rhymes is really interesting. A fun and terrific book!

No, davvero, dico sul serio. Abbbastanza personaggi principali perché possiate trovare qualcunz che vi garba, struttura ottima, trama ottima, e ok, io sono particolarmente vulnerabile a certi tipi di metanarrativa e di rielaborazione, però è davvero ottima anche quella. Plus, femminismo intersezionale e lotta di classe.
