The Coven by Lizzie Fry

5.0

This book had me in an absolute chokehold.

Feminism, witches, prison escapes, rebellion, villains, action, strong female characters littered throughout. What more could you want??

This book so cleverly blurs the line between this fictional world where magic exists and is feared with the very real issues women face in our misogynistic society. It felt dystopian in a way that wouldn’t be too far fetched if witches were in fact real.

I loved the multiple perspectives and narratives throughout so we could really get a glimpse into each character and what drives them. The pacing felt spot on for me and the end tied up nicely.

Probably one of my favourite books I’ve ever read.
