One of my favorite books of all time. Louisa Morgan just brings witchcraft to life with her writing!

Her books are kind of blending together. I love a good witch story, but I want something new.

Pleasant enough read touching on women’s rights, witches, horses, the Gilded Age. No one is especially appealing in this story. The rather odd ending makes one wonder if there will be a sequel.

This book is slow in the start, but is better once it gets going. Annis is a fun character. It seems like there could be another book more centred on Harriet.

I just finished The Age of Witches, and I highly recommend. I thought I had figured out the plot, but I had not. There were lovely turns and surprises. Very enjoyable. Reaching for another Louisa Morgan novel as I write.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for this DRC in exchange for my honest review.
Louisa Morgan creates a tale that weaves in life during the Gilded Age in America and England while telling the story of 3 Bishop witches. Each of the 4 different characters (3 witches 1 gentleman) rotates as the narrator of particular chapters, but it is done in a way that is easy to follow without getting lost between the shifts. The pace is slow for the majority of the book and even the climactic conclusion unfolds uncomfortably slow. The character development is shallow and the witchcraft is used sparingly by all the witches.
Overall, this was an enjoyable yet slow read that I would recommend to readers that enjoy the historical fiction genre but are not looking for a provocative or exciting plot that is driven quickly or filled with dangers for its characters.

Enjoyable read about magic, love, and the choices we make in pursuit of our goals. Very much enjoyed the narrators, and was left feeling satisfied with the story's conclusion.
