“The Witches of New York” by Ami McKay

The book’s strongest point was also, I think, its greatest weakness. The author obviously enjoyed writing about the historical backdrop of 19th century New York City and about witchcraft, up to the point where there was in fact, more description than necessary. And I don’t think she was as successful in developing her characters as she was the city. Admittedly, the ghost of the little boy caused me some tears, but I did not become entranced with any of the 3 witches. I suppose I’ll read volume 2 of the series, but I don’t expect much from it.... Perhaps the 2nd novel will be better because the author would have move beyond the point of ”setting the stage”?
