I was interested in learning how witchcraft worked in this dystopia, but didn’t connect with any of the witches. I appreciated the political commentary and satire.

I’m now wondering if I wasn’t in the right frame of mind for this read. I was keen to find out how a story with a witch who turns a detestable coworker into a cat would play out. Stan, when he’s not scrounging up fish tacos and beer, is on a treasure hunt. There’s nougat, which is nice, but there’s also a water shortage, which isn’t.Įleanor has been tasked with finding a missing witch. Now it has animatronic presidential heads and people are whisked off in vans, presumably never to be seen again. This means she’s stuck living with said cat, whose metamorphosis didn’t magically improve his personality.Įleanor and Stan are now in Liberty, which once upon a time was Texas. It doesn’t matter that her reasons were valid she behaved in a manner most uncovenly and now she’s living with the consequences. Eleanor was in the process of learning witchcraft when she turned her coworker into a cat.
