I wanted to like this book more than I did. It really either needed to be more fantasy or more realism for it to really work.
My Rating: 3 out of 5 stars
Part of a series or Standalone: Standalone
Genre: Fantasy
Tropes: Magical Realism, Protecting The People from Corporations, Waking up the Land, High Stakes, Paying the Price
Things I liked: The hook of this book really had me reeled in!
The feats that Motheater and the other witches in the book were really cool to read about.
Things I disliked: This book is way too short. I wish it was two books. One covering the past and the other covering the future.
I was also more curious about the magic that was in this book. It would have been cool to understand the rules a bit of the magic used.
I'm sad the author didn't draw on the actual history of the Appalachians themselves. There's so much history with those mountains that I would have loved to read about it.
Audiobook or Physical? I read the physical book, and the cover is very pretty!
If any animals are abused, die, or are killed in this book: There's a baby opposum that is used for a spell. Just watch out for when she put the little guy in her pocket.
Extras: Switches between Bennie's and Motheaters POV's
