Play Book Tag discussion

3.5. Well, I must say it was the perfect book for both the Feminism tag and October Fall Flurries.

Well this early quote kind of sums it up. "Witching and Women's Rights, Suffrage and Spells. They are both a kind of power, aren't they? The kind we don't have and want to have."

Set in New Salem in pre-suffrage times, women who were trying to advocate for the right to vote were witches, and witches aligned with these women as sisters seeking un-allowed power. I enjoyed it. It was long, fantastical, and maybe a little predictable. I like to say that I love magic when its done well. Here, I felt the magic was a little fanciful, sloppy, and gratuitous. But what grabbed me, was the relationship and back story of the three sisters, and how the next relationships developed from there. It was another point for the clearing of the TBR, and yet another book that a challenge directed me to unexpectedly pick up. And a fine enough story. Not a rave by any stretch. Nor impossible or unworthy. It sort of did its job, albeit a little lengthily.
