Review:
This was a great book to dip in and out of and read witchy tales from all kinds of different countries!
I really like reading about witches and especially their place in myth and folklore, and one thing I really liked about this collection was that we got to see witches in quite a broad term; we get to many kinds of magic, women and cultures. A lot of the stories in the collection were also completely new to me, so that was really fun!
As with most short story collections, especially when they contain a lot of stories, there are going to be stories you love and stories you maybe don't like as much, and it's the same with this. I think it's worth reading all of them to find the ones you like, but there are some in here that I just couldn't get into.
Overall though, if you like folklore, fairytales and witches, this is a must read!
