Book review • Witches of Ash and Ruin by E. Latimer - 3.5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨
Thank you to HBG Canada for sending me a final copy of this to read and review!
WoAaR definitely had me intrigued from the beginning. I loved the magic and the magical connections that people had. Not to mention that we get queer witches!
The romance was a bit meh for me, and at times, the plot felt a little obvious. For example, one character would be missing some information, but it would be conveniently provided to us in the next scene.
TW: outing someone - this made me mad. Not just that a character is outed, but that the person who did it doesn’t really face any consequences. I wish this was addressed more.
In general though, the story was well-paced and flowed well. I enjoyed it and definitely still recommend it!
