Overall, it was a satisfying read. I loved the mix of historical fiction and fantasy. 3.8 Stars It started out slow and a little confusing, but it picked up soon enough. I felt intrigued by Bess's story. My heart ached for her. Tegan is a complicated character, and I enjoyed her growth. Bess and Tegan's relationship is incredibly touching. ( )
This historical fantasy novel based on a fictional character Elizabeth Anne Hawksmith, was both interesting and exceptionally slow moving. After Elizabeth's mother is hanged for being a witch, she finds herself with similiar powers, while at the mercy of another named Gideon for training. Bess flees after discovering Gideon's true nature and many years later befriends a young teenager who she suspects might have magical powers. Throughout all this Gideon pursues Bess, putting everyone she comes in contact with at risk.
The novel is well written but overly detailed, which slows the pacing of the story. Still, I overall liked the book and thought the audio narration was well done. ( )
I enjoyed the modern portions of the book, her house and the garden were the best... but I skimmed most of the past lives portion. The end felt rushed and I haven't decided if I care enough to read the second book. I did like the idea of the story but it didn't hold me as much as I had hoped. ( )
Good story
Felt it was missing something ( )
