From start to finish, I loved the read. It has all the things I like and several surprises up its sleeve. It's a fairly diverse anthology that shows the figure of the witch from different cultures, many of which are not as famous as they should be. There are some well-known names or that are already gaining ground, but the vast majority are characters I hadn't heard of before.

Part encyclopedia and part collection of stories, the prose is perfectly curated, the descriptions and style are evocative, while the art shines throughout. It's a balance that gives the book its own shine along with the charm of the elements that compose it. In addition, the structure it handles is well-crafted.

That's my favorite part. The synopsis makes it seem like there are too many concepts, more ideas than there should be, in a single book. However, the balance is maintained even in the mix of elements. It has a certain air of a self-help book, but a very good one, one that you really want to read, because each story and legend makes you think about yourself.

With a mix of fantasy, folklore, and mesmerizing art, The Book of Forgotten Witches is a perfect adventure that made me travel around the world, discover stories I'd never heard of, and see the figure of witches from another point of view. From vampires to ghosts, guardians to pacts with the devil, it's a book I plan to reread more than once.
