Boneset & Feathers

So... I got this as an ARC via Netgalley quite a long time ago, but I was in a bit of a reading slump and never got around to it until now. I hadn't even realized it was a novella, otherwise I would have maybe pushed through anyway to finish it in time, but alas.

It's a dark story about witches and witchhunters, and I haven't read many books like that so that was nice. I was already into it from page one, and it was very easy to just keep on reading as the end of every chapter made you want to read the next one.

It's not perfect. The characters themselves are a bit shallow and not that developed, and the situations they fall into repeat themselves sometimes (even by characters making the same mistakes over and over). As it's a novella it's not as notable, but I've read other novellas where I already felt much more with fewer pages. But it is a genuinely scary story, even just as a social commentary and not necessarily just the gruesome acts in it.

I really enjoyed it, and would definitely read more from this author!
