I adore this book. It is unlike most other witch trial books: it isn't tense or overly dramatic and avoids the typical clichees of historical fiction. It doesn't read that historical at all, apart from keeping the circumstances and values of the people of that time, it is written pretty modern and relatable. And that fits so well, showing that we aren't that far away from this behaviour, that I didn't mind not beeing able the immerse myself into the time period. It's also super funny without drifting into a comedy, the feelings and motives of the characters are still front and center, and the characters became very dear to me.
I also love how scenes from the trial are sprinkled throughout the book instead of putting it at the end, I think it puts things into perspektive.
