This is a blistering feminist tale, dark and dangerous when you stop to think about the society this is occurring in. The magic is really cool too, although much of its discussion and use is clandestine so you really feel the craft being held away from women by men.
Not my favorite Polk novel while still being better than most books. I jumped into the audiobook 2/3 of the way and that was well done.
