Reviews

[Aimee]

Good series till this last issue. What a let down.

[Thalla Rothach]

I had my doubts when I saw advertisements for this series, but I really liked it. Technically it's a coda, a frame tale taking place immediately after Lady Van Tassle is sucked into the tree, recounting the events that led up to the movie, and it explains things really well, a very plausible story of the descent into darkness and madness that led to the Horseman's resurrection. So the recommended reading order is: Movie>Witches of the Western Wood>Return to Sleepy Hollow, which takes place several decades later.

[Lizzy DeMarco]

The story kinda of trickled off at the end, otherwise a good series.

[Elizabeth (Miss Eliza)]

Wait is that really the end? Just her rambling about her bad deeds to say she knew she’d burn in the end!?! Lame.
