3.75 stars. The beginning was a tad slow and the ending was a little fantastical but I really enjoyed the story. I really enjoyed Puritan-era badass Abitha but found Samson to be a tad…whiny? Mopey? I don’t know. Underwhelming I guess. Anyway, the dark fairytale vibe and the connection to nature religions and folk magic were definitely cool. Overall, I enjoyed it but wasn’t wowed by it.

the lore and history around the devil was the most interesting part, but this was a slog imo. it took me forever to get through. there were some plot holes and i felt everything was moving at a snail’s pace or at lightning speed. too many characters to keep track of. also i found it odd how he wrote abitha’s character, but i just generally feel odd when male writers write women… so maybe that’s just me.
