THE WITCH'S DAUGHTER
History, time travel and fantasy combine in a solidly readable entertainment.
A white witch is pursued across time by her nemesis, a sorcerer who may also have been Jack the Ripper.
Stretching her tale over several centuries, British-based Brackston brings energy as well as commercial savvy to her saga of innocence and the dark arts. Young Bess Hawksmith is a teenager in Wessex in 1627 when the Black Death arrives in her village, killing her father, brother and sister. Bess’s survival is a miracle which her mother, Anne, a healer and midwife, won’t discuss, although it involves local man Gideon Masters, to whom Bess turns for protection when Anne is arrested for witchcraft and sentenced to hang. But Gideon is a warlock with plans to initiate Bess and then join forces with her. She evades him but uses his magic to escape her own death sentence, then finds herself condemned to an eternity of making amends, with Gideon in pursuit. As a nurse in Victorian London she encounters Masters in two guises, one of whom Bess suspects of savagely murdering prostitutes in Whitechapel. In 1917, on the battlefields of World War I, Bess tends wounded soldiers and finds a man who loves and understands her, but Gideon intervenes again. A contemporary narrative shows Bess befriended by a teenager who becomes her pupil, assisting at the all-female confrontation with Gideon, a fight of elemental proportions.
History, time travel and fantasy combine in a solidly readable entertainment.

Reviews for "Unpacking the Genius of Rune RK's Production Techniques"
1. Sarah - 1 star
I really didn't enjoy Rune rk music at all. The beats were repetitive and the songs lacked any depth or creativity. It all started to blend together and I couldn't differentiate one song from another. The lyrics were also very generic and uninspiring. I was really disappointed because I had heard some good things about this artist, but now I can't understand what the hype is all about. Definitely won't be listening to any more of Rune rk's music.
2. Mike - 2 stars
I found Rune rk music to be quite average. The songs were okay, but nothing really stood out to me. It felt like I had heard it all before from other artists. The production quality was decent, but it just didn't captivate me or leave a lasting impression. Maybe it's just not my style, but I didn't find anything unique or special about Rune rk's music. I might give it another listen in the future, but for now, it's not something I would actively seek out.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I have to admit, I was not a fan of Rune rk music. The songs lacked originality and creativity. They all followed a similar formula and just blended together. The lyrics were also quite forgettable and didn't resonate with me at all. I tried to give it a chance, but it just didn't click with me. I can see why some people might enjoy it, but for me, it was a miss.
4. Alex - 3 stars
Rune rk music was just okay for me. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't love it. The songs were decent, but they didn't leave a lasting impression on me. I found myself getting bored halfway through and skipping to the next track. It's not bad music by any means, but it just didn't engage me or make me want to listen to more. I would say it's worth a try if you're into this genre, but personally, it didn't do much for me.
