The book “The Once and Future Witches” takes place during the 19th century women’s suffrage movement but adds a fantasy element of witchcraft. The world building and character development were great! I enjoyed the overall story and inclusive characters.
I think there are story elements that could trigger strong emotional reactions (i.e., violence, abuse, suggested sexual violence). I think these components fit into the overall narrative of the oppressive environment for women, but it could be hard for some people to read.
Three words that describe this book: Witches, suffragettes, community
You might want to pick this book up if: You enjoy alternative histories with fantasy twists or books with inclusive characters.
