Reviews for "The Witch's Coven: Gathering and Community Building in Witchcraft for the Past 100 Years"
- Sarah - 2 out of 5 stars - I really did not enjoy "100 yhat witch". The pacing was incredibly slow and the story seemed to drag on. The characters lacked depth and I found it hard to connect with any of them. Additionally, the worldbuilding was confusing and at times felt disjointed. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and wouldn't recommend it to others.
- John - 1 out of 5 stars - "100 yhat witch" was one of the most confusing and convoluted books I've ever read. The plot was all over the place and it was difficult to keep track of what was happening. The writing style was also difficult to follow, with long, rambling sentences that didn't contribute much to the story. I found myself losing interest early on and struggled to finish the book. It just wasn't for me.
- Emily - 3 out of 5 stars - While "100 yhat witch" had an interesting concept, I felt that it fell flat in execution. The story had potential, but it was overshadowed by inconsistent pacing and a lack of character development. I found myself wanting more depth and emotion from the main characters, as they felt one-dimensional and predictable. The writing style was also not to my taste, with excessive use of descriptive language that slowed down the story. Overall, it was an okay read, but I wouldn't go out of my way to recommend it.
