Weyward is a lovely tale that reminds me of strolling through a field on a warm, hazy summer day. It doesn’t feel like there is a climatic moment that you are reading towards… you are just, reading.
Hart does a wonderful job of weaving the 3 timelines around each other – finding connections but still staying unique to each character. Each character is so different, the problems they deal with so different, yet completely the same.
I really enjoyed the ‘magic’ in the story. It was something to master, something you didn’t know you had as a Weyward woman. It wasn’t over done.
As the book is passed out, it seems there isn’t a clear consensus with reviewers if we ‘like’ this book or not. I would recommend this book. I have no criticisms at all, hence the 5 stars. I would say if you are expecting something like Alice Hoffman, this isn’t it. Yes, you can maybe tell Hart drew off of Hoffman by making a line of feminist witches… but we all draw inspiration from someone, at some point. So I won’t give that topic too much thought.
This is a wonderful, slow book that I didn’t want to end.
