This was a book about a witch. A witch trial, actually.
To be honest, I wasn’t that impressed when I first started reading the book (it had very flowery language). I had to put it down a couple of times before I really started reading it. However, being a fan of Robert McCammon’s previous works, I plowed on with it and was glad I did–it ended up being an excellent read.
Luckily, the story doesn’t end here–there are some other books in this series. I will definitely be checking them out.
