I haven't quite decided if I enjoyed this book. I'm leaning toward no. And yet, I plan on reading book 2, The Book of the Unwinding. There are quite a few characters to get to know, and perspective alternates among a few of the most prominent.
Alice has experienced a rough childhood, including being institutionalized. But now her grandfather has passed, and her uncle has fetched her from the asylum. Magic is weakening (or is it?) and Alice's family and coven are mourning (or are they?) and Babau Jean, the horror and bogeyman of Alice's childhood has returned (or has he?).
The story is dark, depressing, conflicting, ... hence, I couldn't quite grab onto any one part that I could really enjoy or connect with. The story, the characters, ... perhaps the setting, to some small extent? But no, not that either.
Hopefully the second book connects more.
