I really loved this Salem Witch Trials meets Handmaid's Tale concept, but this book was a little too rushed to feel the satisfaction I was hoping for. I loved the representation in the book, the comments it made on women's rights, and Gidding's take on magic. It did feel, however, that the setting and history wasn't properly fleshed out, which left me with a lot of questions that took away from my immersion. I liked the first half of the book more than the second half, which seemed to have less direction and made me question our protagonist's motivations and character development. Not a bad read, but could have benefitted from some extra pages, for sure.
