I really liked the book. At the beginning it is a bit difficult to get to grips with the many time jumps and to get to know the characters. But once you get into it, the time jumps are very refreshing. By the end, I couldn't put the book down. Unfortunately, the changes in time were only very brief at the end. They changed every 2-3 pages. That was a bit exhausting. All in all, a good book if you like witchcraft, nature and strong female characters.

Beautiful!

This was a beautifully written book told from three voices that were woven together intricately and intelligently. The story itself was compelling and I both wanted to consume it in one sitting and read it slowly so it would last longer. I listened to the audiobook and the narration was stellar.

3 women, from the same family line, living hundred years apart and dealing with the reality of being a woman, finding out who you are and what life you want to live. And then add a little bit of magic into it. I originally gave it 5 starts but after thinking about it a bit more I’m not sure this deserved it. I enjoyed reading it and couldn’t put it down but there’s a lot of violence, abuse and misogyny towards women and I just wish these characters would grow from something else.

Dieser Roman ist im Deutschen unter „Die Unbändigen“ erschienen und ist, für ein Debüt, ein kleines Meisterwerk. In drei Zeitebenen wird von eigenwilligen, starken Frauen erzählt, die der Natur und vor allem den Tieren näher sind als den Menschen. Immer sind es Männer, die ihnen Böses antun und wenn sie sich wehren, werden sie als Hexen verschrien. Aber dennoch finden sie am Ende zu sich selbst, ihren Wurzeln und zu ihrer eigenen Magie. Kann ich nur wärmstens empfehlen! 💚

A story about witches without magic.

A story about witches without any magic. Or barely any. It's about pregnancy. Three stories about three women and it's just about pregnancy. Three times it's literally like "Look at this: a pregnant woman in a fucked situation!" I waited the entire time for some kind of idk exciting? story to start and just got pregnancy. It's like the author doesn't know how to write a story except for fucking pregnancies. At its core it's a book about how women will be taken advantage of by men but all three stories just repeated the same point. And tbh it was kinda lame. I don't know how to describe it. It's feminist literature that talks about one specific issue but nothing else. I seriously missed a story because there isn't one. Not truly. Don't understand me wrong I love feminist literature. Of course I do. I'm a woman. But I also like reading fictional stories and this book is seriously missing that. If you like reading three different stories all talking about the same shit and hate the idea of witches actually doing witchcraft then this book is for you. I liked ending quote though. That was nice.

So ein gutes Buch! Spannend, mitreißend, ein bisschen verstörend, ziemlich inspirierend. Es war richtig schön, den Geschichten dieser drei Frauen zu folgen und ich konnte viele Momente mitfühlen und nachfühlen. Die drei Protagonistinnen haben alle Grausames erlebt, doch sie haben sich davon nicht beirren oder einkriegen lassen, sondern sind weiter ihren Weg gegangen. Diese Schicksale sind allerdings keine Einzelfälle, sondern etwas, das vielen Frauen passiert, was das Buch umso eindrücklicher macht. Berührt haben mich dabei sowohl die Beziehungen der Frauen mit anderen Frauen, Müttern, Geschwistern, Freundinnen, als auch die Verbindung zur Natur. Ich denke diese Sehnsucht nach dem Ursprünglichen können viele nachempfinden, mir ging es zumindest so. Das Buch ist auch wunderbar geschrieben, mit drei sehr unterschiedlichen Stimmen und Perspektiven, die sich auch durch verschiedene Erzählperspektiven (erste bzw. dritte Person) und Tempi (Präsens/Präteritum) unterscheiden, was mMn sehr gut funktioniert hat. Der Schreibstil ist unaufdringlich und trotzdem mitreißend, auch gut übersetzt von Julia Walther. Ich mag es immer, wenn man mit den Protagonistinnen mitfühlen kann und das war hier definitiv gegeben. Große Empfehlung für alle, die Bücher über Hexen, starke Frauen und eine ordentliche Portion female rage mögen ✊🏻 Danke an Heyne und Netgalley für das Rezensionsexemplar 😊

Die berührenden Geschichten von 3 Frauen in verschiedenen Zeitaltern und doch zusammenhängend - wahnsinnig packend

Ein wundervolles Buch! Die Storys aller drei Protagonistinnen haben mich sehr berührt und ich konnte das Buch kaum aus der Hand legen. Feminine Rage - sind sie wirklich Hexen oder leiden sie unter den Vorwürfen der Männer in ihrem Leben? Absolut mitreißend! 🪰🪲🪄✨

"She feels something sharp on her shoulder, its claws digging into her flesh. She looks up at blue-black feathers, streaked with white. A crow. The same crow that has watched over her since she arrived. Tears fill her eyes, and she knows in that moment that she is not alone in the cottage. Altha is there, in the spiders that dance across the floor. Violet is there, in the mayflies that glisten and undulate like some great silver snake. And all the other Weyward women, from the first of the line, are there, too. They have always been with her, and always will be.”
