The Last Balfour by Cait Duggan
4.0
Read my full review on the Shannon A/ Jade blog.
My The Last Balfour Top 3:
- Unique historical setting/theme with great research (how many books have you read about Scottish witch trials?)
- High stakes and fast pace
- Unpredictable plot and rich imagery (+ an Aussie debut author!)
The Last Balfour is Aussie author Cait Duggan’s debut novel, a glimpse into a period of history we rarely get the chance to read stories about. The novel follows main character Iona as she moves through the trials and tribulations of being a witch in 16thcentury witch-hunting Scotland. It is rich, immersive, fascinating, and exciting. A spectacular blend of historical fiction and fantasy, this book is the newest YA must-read.
