The witches of New York : a novel de Ami McKay

Disappointing! Reminded me very strongly of [b:The Once and Future Witches|49504061|The Once and Future Witches|Alix E. Harrow|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1582634494l/49504061._SY75_.jpg|74822550], which I was only so-so on and still started grittier and more interesting than this. I started reading the author note at the back (whoops, bad sign), McKay's related to Nathaniel Hawthorne and one of the nastiest Salem witch trials judges as well as a victim and this was the entire impetus for the book? I thought I'd give it until page 50 to get interesting, but on page 34 the nice good pure dream fairies are giving a main character a prophetic dream and....

"The entire balance of magic was at stake. The moon was full. The time was nigh. The prophecy had foretold it."

k, thx, bye!

The Virgin Cure de Ami McKay

I understand the compulsion to include the doctor's observations and voice, but I found them distracting. Moth is a fabulous character and this is a great story
