I was instantly hooked from the very first page. It's like she bewitched the pages and I couldn't help but read until my eyes were burning!
We start right back at the beginning of the Owen's family line. Maria, what a captivating woman. I could not get enough of her. She truly shines and I could feel the loss emanating from the words and into my soul. I felt like my heart was screaming and had no release. The way the characters blend and the manner their lives were intertwined... Sheer brilliance. To see how Maria and Faith turned from children to women and the strife they endured, especially during the most dangerous time in our history, not just for witches but for women as a whole.
It was the such a genius roller coaster of true good magic, dark magic, passion, life, surrender and despair. I would have been shaken less placed in a martini shaker. I loved the little notes about what plants do what too. It made me wish I had a garden so full of magical wonder!
I thoroughly enjoyed how well researched the book was and the tempo the book was written at. The highs and the lows. It was all done with such delicacy and charm that you wonder how anyone can write a book any better.
If you love books with strong yet humble lead characters and men who bring you trees from the furthest reaches of the world, then this is the book for you. It truly was the best of the three for me.
Your heart will break a dozen different ways but the love that shines from the pages will have you put back together a better person.
5 stars from me. I cannot wait to see what comes next
