Reviews for "Surviving the Witchcraft Trials: My Journey to Freedom from Salem"
1. John Smith - 2 stars - I found "I got away from the Salem Witch Trials" to be quite disappointing. The writing style was choppy and lacked depth, making it difficult for me to become invested in the story. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked any real development. Furthermore, the plot felt rushed and poorly executed, leaving many loose ends that were never tied together. Overall, I was left feeling unsatisfied and underwhelmed by this book.
2. Emily Johnson - 1 star - "I got away from the Salem Witch Trials" was a complete waste of time. The author's attempt at combining historical events with a fictional narrative fell flat. The story lacked any semblance of believability, with the protagonist miraculously escaping time and space to avoid the witch trials. The writing itself was mediocre at best, filled with clichéd dialogue and an overabundance of unnecessary descriptive passages. I would not recommend this book to anyone looking for a well-crafted historical fiction novel.

The characters were poorly developed and lacked any depth or relatability. The dialogue felt forced and unnatural, making it difficult to connect with the story. Additionally, the pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. Overall, I found this book to be a missed opportunity to explore a fascinating period in history.
