This book ended up being so good! While there wasn't a plot, I enjoyed the way this book was set up. And both characters has their own unique voices. I don't like the title, because even in the book Feliciana says she's no witch, she's a healer, so the title just doesn't fit. Even the Spanish title. There were some lines in the book that I enjoyed:
" ,This path is mine because I am Feliciana." pg 47 This was when her father visited her to tell her what she should say to her grandfather Cosmo. (Which I love the name, Cosmo.)
" If the jar has a lid, it's up to you to take it off." pg 64 
I enjoyed the stories these women told each other, about women in their lives who supported them and guided them to where they are 'today.' And them reflecting on the people in their life made me reflect on the people on my life currently and felt like an experience even though these characters are fictional. 

I feel about this the same way that I feel about Emily St. John Mande's Station Eleven, in that I think the writing is gorgeous, but I feel relatively misled about the type of book I was getting. I don't think I realized that this genuinely has no plot. Thankfully, the characters are engaging enough to follow, but a plot, or even just general forward momentum, really would have helped me like this book more. 

I did enjoy Zoe's chapters. I liked reading about her sister Leandra, who is probably the most interesting character in this book. Feliciana's chapters were hard, mostly because of the narrative choice to represent her interview answers as stream of consciousness. That made the pacing in her chapters quite slow and the prose extremely repetitive. I found this stylistic choice engaging at first, but after the 35% mark it just got a little tedious for me, when I realized that nothing was actually going to change or drive this book forward. 

I think if you like really character-driven stories, don't mind a complete lack of plot, and don't really need forward momentum to keep your interest, you'll probably really enjoy this. 

I think this is a book that, for lack of a better term, wasn't written for me.  There were things that I could take from it, like the feminine rage and the introspection on female relationships with their families and friends, but it just didn't connect with me on a super deep level.  I also found myself far more interested in Zoe than Feliciana, which made her chapters much harder to get through.  I'm glad to have read it, but I don't know how much I actually enjoyed the process.

"All women are born with a bit of bruja in them, for protection"

Challenging to read in places - for both content and writing style - but worth the read for the strong feminist themes. Feliciana is a strong role model.
