Title: Compelling but boring at the same time
Review: Ok, this is a clever story, and I cared what happened to the characters. But the intense detail about the actual witchcraft bogged down the interesting parts. The book would make me want to keep going, and then I'd hit a wall, either because it was Jane Doe's over-detailed, and frankly not very interesting, journals, or several pages straight of Jane's every action in preparing for a ritual. At times I'm thinking, wow, this is a compelling book, and the next minute, I'd put it down and go to bed, because it was so tedious. My theory? This needed a good editor to kindly tell the author, great story, but cut out the parts that are unnecessary and only seem like the author's showing off of his knowledge.
