There once were three sisters...

This is a delightful love letter to children's stories, fairy tales, and womanhood. It is also a fierce and furious feminist tale. It is all this and more, and I love it for what it is.

We follow the sisters Eastwood, as they find themselves at the center of a puzzle to find the hidden Way back to the tower of Avalon, where resides a repository of witch knowledge, and more besides. The setting is 1893, New Salem. Our protagonists were taught some witching ways as children by their caretaker, but most witching knowledge has been lost to time and children's stories. Or so they all thought until Bella, the eldest, dives deeper into her research and finds bits of lost knowledge, hidden in plain sight. The antagonist is an up and coming mayor candidate who wants to remove any hint of witchcraft from his city. He will let nothing stand in his way, but why?

I devoured this book in a matter of days and want to revisit it again. I love the concept, I love the world, and I love the sisters.
