The Witches of New York by Ami McKay
5.0
First, I really must go out of my way to stress the appeal of certain audiobooks. The amount of enjoyment I get out of my reading experience by listening instead of reading is enhanced by at least double. This is a really good audiobook. I'm glad my library had it.
Recommending this book to readers looking for...
-Rich, detailed, intricately plotted storytelling by an extremely capable writer
-Atmospheric setting: New York in the late 1800s
-Spiritualism & Occultism rising into popularity
-Books like WEYWARD by Emilia Hart--this book has three strong female protagonists as well--witches with subtle and unique powers empowering them in different ways to combat the prevailing attitudes of societal norms
-Stories about battling the patriarchy!!
-A well developed system of magic that feels entirely realistic
-Witches & Feminism (personal agency/power/independence
-Suspense/Reader investment
