This book was overflowing with witchcraft and it was a witchcraft that was rooted in actual practice (spells, herbs, wands, and even a couple broomsticks) and felt so real it could exist in the world we live in. I will also complain that there is never enough magic in the books that do exist. I will always complain that there are not enough books about witches on bookshelves. Harrow, The Once and Future Witchesįirst, let’s start with the witchcraft because that’s what brought me to this book and let me tell you, it did not disappoint. “I think they stole the words and ways from us, and left us nothing but our wills.” ― Alix E. Harrow has the poetic ease to her writing that is so captivating and immersive and once I fell in love with this book in the first few chapters I was hooked until the end. To say this book cast a spell on me (pun 1000% intended) is an understatement.įrom the witchcraft to the characters to the setting to the plot and writing, everything about this book was breathtaking. I have been looking for the kind of book that grips me by its pages and doesn’t spit me out until the last page for months, and this my book loving friends, was exactly what I was looking for. What are words? Because I have none to describe how beautiful and amazing The Once and Future Witches by Alix E. “But a hell of a lot harder to ignore a witch.” ― Alix E. “Because it’s easy to ignore a woman.” Juniper’s lips twist in a feral smile.
