Rezension

This is a beautiful, powerful, important book, and I hugely recommend it. Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author of The Unkindest Tide

The Year of the Witching is a dark wood ready to swallow you whole with its tense stakes and beguiling prose. Henderson takes witchcraft to its very depths, unraveling the horrific nightmares of bone-deep ideology and devastating oppression. Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles series

A haunting, unique read I couldn't put down a story that cuts to the heart. Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Tempests and Slaughter

The Year of the Witching tells a universal, timeless story about women's power. O, The Oprah Magazine

"Has a classic setup but updates the olde puritanical tale to deal with issues of racism and sexism." The Washington Post

Unique and haunting. Ms. Magazine

The Year of the Witching is a very, very good book. It s unsettling and horrifying, beautiful and incisive, and ultimately, radiantly triumphant I was torn between wanting to tear through the chapters as fast as possible to see how things resolved and savoring every sentence. Smart Bitches, Trashy Books

The Year of the Witching is Alexis Henderson s debut novel, but you d never know it.... The story is enchanting, enticing, enthralling, enigmatic. Tor.com

"A dark, dramatic tale of oppression and rebellion, ideology and morality, with a complicated, appealing protagonist caught in a Handmaid's Tale nightmare. Louisa Morgan, Author of The Age of Witches

"A masterfully eerie, feminist story that binds itself to the reader s mind and won t let go." Shea Ernshaw, New York Times bestselling author of The Wicked Deep

Creepy, compelling, and compulsively readable blends the terror of the supernatural with the all-too-recognizable human evils of power and dogma. Fonda Lee, Award-winning author of the Green Bone Saga

Bone-chilling and breathtakingly beautiful storytelling at its finest." Rena Barron, author of Kingdom of Souls

A brutal tale of religion, witchcraft, & patriarchy. The perfect read for fans of The Handmaid s Tale. Amanda Lovelace, National bestselling author of The Princess Saves Herself in This One

This book will haunt your dreams. Christina Henry, National Bestselling author of Alice and The Ghost Tree

New Blood for old blood.

Bewertung am 11.10.2021

Bewertungsnummer: 1586308

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

The book immediately bond me in through the harsh and icy conditions of this village ... I could hardly get away from it. The protagonist tries to keep the damage low - contrary to her experience and knowledge - stands up FOR the people who actually judged and hated her (& according to the witches deserved more than suffering). Not only Immanuelles but also other characters grow and change with the story. This creates some surprises and in some cases emotional victories for the readership. Friendships, caregivers and conflicts are mutually dependent and provide exciting and sometimes frightening moments. !! Trigger points that appear here are definitely: physical violence, torture, misogyny and racism. Ezra is one of my favorite developing side-characters. A complex, magical-histric book about an albeit uninvited heroine.

I kinda expected more from this but I think this is also partially from it being heavily praised/ advertised as a horror story with a feminist twist which I do not think this is. It is neither horror (maybe for young readers it might be but anyone above the age of 17 would not consider this horror) nor includes any feminist twists, which I was so hoping for but sadly the protagonists actions mainly rely on her love interest. Also the story is rather predictable plus all the side characters are, in my opinion, not very well fleshed out, rather they, and what happens to them, are used as a means for the drive of the story only. All in all, it is an easy to read story but with little substance.

A dark and enthralling tale

Bewertet: Buch (Taschenbuch)

Alexis Henderson has managed to create an equally interesting and horrifying world, that will leave you speechless. The perfect blend of horror, historical fiction and female rage. Set in a strictly religious puritan society, where blind faith and obedience is expected, the witches of the Darkwood have come to unleash their plagues on the men who have wronged them. A gorgeous rich prose gives this novel the perfect eerie atmosphere and witchy vibes, but the story also ventures into deeper themes such as the oppression of women, racial identity and their struggles in a patriarchal society.
