This is one of those books which you pick up thinking, "Looks amazing!" but once you read it, you are terribly wrong. As they say, don't judge a book by it's cover! (or it's introduction for that sake) As much as I would love to say, all books rock! I'm sorry, but this one just does not meet my expectations. The plot sounded quite interesting once I read the front cover, but as I started reading the book, I started getting more and more bored. A good plot calls for a good description, however the way this book was written was just not compelling enough.
The book started out with a sixteen-year-old girl name Maggie. She resides with her old hag of a grandmother and an old man. When Maggie's grandmother is executed because she was accused of witchcraft, Maggie is left all alone to find out her supposedly living relatives. Surprisingly enough she finds them and starts to live with them. The down side is that her uncle is terribly preoccupied with another dilemma, and is somehow put to jail! Now, Maggie is alone with only women, who were so weak and insignificant when the story is set.
Well, that's the best description I personally can give of the book, I recommed it only if you're interested in writing a history report. Ok, fine, I'll give it one star. :)
