I'm sorry you didn't enjoy "The Once and Future Witches." I waited to comment until now, because I started reading it the day this vlog went up, and I'm almost 200 pages in. I think Harrow's writing doesn't do fast-paced well; it's more of a slow to medium pace, with threads that slowly build up and weave together to get to the climax. It was definitely the same way with "Starling House" and "The Ten Thousand Doors of January."
How are you finding it? I’m sad because I love her prose and I can usually do slow paced if I love the characters but for some reason I just wasn’t connecting - I may still finish it as I did go into it after quite a fast paced read so maybe that was the issue. I’m still going to try The Ten Thousand Doors of January - threres and Alix E Harrow book out there for me, I know it! 😂
@@Booksandmoe I'm enjoying it, but I've really enjoyed all her books so far. I like how she's using fairytales with the witchcraft, and the general witchcraft in the book. I also really like the three characters and how different they are, they're different motivations and how I see it playing into the story. I'm also loving seeing how she's deviating from history a bit and playing with it. I've highlighted and tabbed so much in just the first half
I’m so glad you’re enjoying it! See, these are all things of you ask me, I love! 😂 And I loved the inclusion of the fairytales throughout as well- wondering if it’s the audiobook not sitting right with me…. I’m gonna try and read the rest because I’m already 50% in and I hate DNFing books. Her prose is so beautiful so I can imagine there have been loads of tab-able passages.
