The modern tale lacked some depth in places, but it was satisfying to get a conclusion to Mary's story. ( )I didn't enjoy reading this mainly because the modern aspects detracted away from Mary's story. Not as well written as the first, it just seemed like a "nothing" book. I had a really hard time getting into this. Maybe it's because it's been too long since I read Witch Child, but I didn't connect with the main character Agnes. So after about 100 pages, I just read the parts that were continuing Mary's story from the first book, and I skipped the parts about Agnes. In the Agnes storyline, it seemed like the author just told how characters were feeling and what they were thinking instead of showing it in action and dialog. So I found those parts kind of boring. i was happy when i finished it. if it hadent been for my personal rule that i am to finish any book i start (only failed completely once, the rest im still trying) i wouldent have even finished it. it wasnt written well AT ALL. the only parts i enjoyed were when it was mery's point of view. the whole agnes and her aunt thing was rediculos. if they had kept to mery telling the story it would have been fine. i viewed the rest as unnecicary filler that needed to be delt w/ acordingly. all in all i thought it was a very bad book with some good potential. The stunning sequel to "Witch Child." 0.055 seconds to build listing no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0763621838, Paperback)For the legions of readers spellbound by WITCH CHILD, here’s the fascinating next chapter - thanks to a Native American descendant with an uncanny link to the past.Agnes closed her eyes in the heat and steam of the sweat lodge. She woke to air that was dry and cold around her. She was no longer Agnes, or even Karonhisake, Searching Sky. She was no longer American or Haudenosaunee. She was English, and her name was Mary, and she woke to find that she was dying, freezing to death. It came to Agnes unbidden - a vision of Mary Newbury, alone in the snow, dying of the cold. A vision of a young woman who had lived in the 1600s, who had been driven from her Puritan settlement, accused of being a witch. It was an image of a woman whose life was about to change radically as she embarked on an existence that defied all accepted norms - embracing passionate independence, love, and loyalty to a proud, endangered community that accepted her as one of their own. Mary’s and Agnes’s lives have been separated by almost 400 years, but they are inextricably linked by more than blood. For, like Mary, Agnes has special powers - and Mary now seeks these powers to ensure that the rest of her story is told.
