James Juniper, Agnes Amaranth, and Beatrice Belladonna are three estranged sisters who reconnect over the fight for women's suffrage, and to restore the ways of witches to the world. This alternate history about women's fight to have their voices heard, to have power over their own bodies and lives, is engrossing, satisfying and cathartic. It also integrates class, race, sexual orientation and gender identity in way that brings an intersectional perspective not just to the story but also our real world history.

The plot is a bit of a rollercoaster, and there were a few false story climaxes before the actual final climax - places where it felt like the story could have wrapped up with a fair degree of coherence, maybe setting the stage for a sequel. I won't complain that I didn't have to read a trilogy to get the whole story, and even though it felt a bit like there was unnecessary reaching to drive the stakes higher and higher, I didn't lose momentum reading it.
