Still not quite as biting but still with a bit more kick than the Starling House. The setting was brilliant (late 19th century during the suffrage and labor movements, but with witchcraft as a real if suppressed reality of the world), the character work was well done with each of the three sisters having distinct personalities and motivations that were all still really relatable, and a lot of the world building elements were wonderful, especially the slightly altered nursery rhymes that contained a witch's spell and headed each chapter. If I had one complaint it's that I did feel that the youngest sister <spoiler>having fewer connections seemed to be a way of softening her fate a bit. Would have liked if her own relationships outside her sisters were built up a bit more to enhance that aspect</spoiler> <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss8.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_273461687" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_273461687"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_273461687" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_273461687" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_273461687"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/tastor" target="_top">tastor</a> | Oct 15, 2024 | <a href="/review/273461687"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_271087361" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/24355380" data-workid="24355380" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316422045.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316422045.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316422045.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Spellbinding story telling <span class="rating">( <img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/ss10.gif"> )</span></div><div id="rfd_271087361" class="reviewFlagDialogBox"></div><div class="commentFooter"><span class="reviewMods"><span class="reviewVoteInfo"><span class="reviewVoteCount" id="rvc_271087361"> </span> </span><!-- reviewVoteInfo --><span class="reviewFlags"> <img id="rfi1_271087361" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"> <img id="rfi2_271087361" src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/flag-trans.gif"><span id="rfrf_271087361"> </span></span></span> <!-- reviewMods --><span class="controlItems ci3"><a href="/profile/J.S.Watts" target="_top">J.S.Watts</a> | Sep 3, 2024 | <a href="/review/271087361"><img src="https://image.librarything.com/pics/permalink.gif" width="16" height="7"></a></span> <!-- controlItems --></div></div></div><div class="bookReview"><div class="bookReview_content"><div id="brtext_269920379" class="commentText brslop"><div class="brev_cover"><a href="/work/24355380" data-workid="24355380" class="" ><img src="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316422045.01._SX100_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg" srcset="https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316422045.01._SX200_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 2x, https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/P/0316422045.01._SX300_SCLZZZZZZZ_.jpg 3x" class="bookReview_cover cover" /></a></div><div class="commentHeader"></div>Inspiring and empowering!

There used to be, in the wild, dark days before the burnings began, but now witching is nothing but tidy charms and nursery rhymes. If the modern woman wants any measure of power, she must find it at the ballot box.But when the three Eastwood sisters join the suffragists of New Salem, they begin to pursue the forgotten ways that might turn the women's movement into the witch's movement. Stalked by shadows and sickness, hunted by forces who will not suffer a witch to vote - and perhaps not even to live - the sisters must delve into the oldest magics, draw new alliances, and heal the bond between them if they want to survive. There's no such thing as witches.
