Review of 'Conjure Women' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

The book is meant to be the stories of three women woven together, but the Varina and May Belle stories weren't explored nearly as deeply. And even Rue's story, I didn't feel like we really got to know her. Bean was clearly important, but also felt like an afterthought? For me, while the idea of the book was a good one, it just wasn't as powerful as it could have been.
