2.5? I am conflicted on this one, but know that I definitely think it's still worth a read. 
 The plotting in this could feel convenient, and sometimes downright befuddling at places. As much as all the stakes were there for Sam, her hunt just felt too easy in places. Especially with ghost Elijah there to bring her information and whatnot. I wanted more of Sam's interactions with the Descendants. I wanted more of that claustrophobic mob mentality that comes with the Salem Witch Trials. I wanted more about the Witch Trials themselves. But I was along for the ride. I did not necessarily enjoy the ending. I called it earlier, but was hoping I'd be proved wrong. I was just like, why? 
 I will probably update this as my thoughts become more articulate, but, yeah. You should still read this, especially if you like books about Salem. But I couldn't help wanting just a little more from it.
