Thank you for letting me read this arc! This book was so charming! A collection of 29 short stories and poems about witches. Would recommend!

This was so good. I loved all the different stories and authors voices. Loved it!
I just reviewed The Book of Witches by Jonathan Strahan. #TheBookofWitches #NetGalley

This collection is in need of serious editing. It's overlong and tries to do too much with what it has. At half the length, it would've been better. There are some gems in here but given how many of them there are it's hard to have them rise to the top. I think there's room for potential with some cuts but I would not recommend this based on how it's currently coming together.

I absolutely love all things witches. This book wasnt my favorite story I have ever read. I think I was expecting to read a novel but this is more of a series of stories and poems that have witches as a common factor. I feel like if you like to read poems and you love witches, this book is for you. It just wasnt for me.

I had enjoyed the Book of Dragons anthology and glad that this was continuing. Jonathan Strahan does a great job in finding stories and they were beautifully written. I enjoyed the collections overall and I think my favorite story was The Unexpected Excursion of the Murder Mystery Writing Witches. It was a great story and I enjoyed reading it, but overall this was a great collection.

I did not finish...I struggled to get into any of the stories. Those that did start strong, couldnt hold my attnetion. I found myself skimming through the first half of the book and then just gave up. There was only one in that first half that I felt was at least decent or mediocre. I don't read a ton of short stories (maybe this is why) but love stories about witches, so this was a big dissapointment for me. Hopefully it finds traction with other, better suited, readers.
