The BewitchingThe Bewitching by Silvia Moreno-Garcia
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This might be my favorite book by Silvia Moreno-Garcia. I've enjoyed them all, to be sure, but this one did witches well. Not cliche, not sympathetic, but steeped in several traditions. And, of course, done well.

The hopping back and forth happens in several different ways. Time periods, of course, and witching traditions, even within the separate time periods--but beautifully enough, of switching between HORROR sub-genres as well! I suppose it takes a connoisseur to really appreciate it.

But I do.

The whole novel just FELT right. I'm happy.
