I enjoyed it.

+ I loved the relationship between the sisters and that the book was so focused on them. I liked where the book ended with each of them.

+ The fact that they placed the tower on their family land so Juniper could spend the rest of her ‘life’ there was lovely.

+ The book did a lot I really liked:

- that witches were in fact all women (/people) not just certain bloodlines
- that knowledge gave them magic and power
- that burning witches came about from burning books
- how hidden knowledge was passed from grandmother to mother to daughter
- the reveal that the burning of the library didn’t actually destroy all that knowledge - the emphasis on women working together and supporting each other to reclaim their power
- that the sisters weren’t fated/chosen but were simply normal women who happened to fit the trope in that moment.

+ I liked the Familiars and how they work.

+ I liked the reveal about who Hill was.
