Stacey Halls unveils a mystical (hi)story on witchcraft that turns out to be so much more! One could look at it as a beautiful historical novel, but she handles it with such mastery that history falls into second place after an amazing love story. More than the cliche love story, it's one of friendship and of struggle and of feminism, that is easily translated into modern world: when two women empower each other, there's nothing they can't accomplish, regardless of the times.
I found remarkable the way she puts together two such different personalities, separate by entire lifestyles and makes them bound instantly.
A great insight into the dark times and a beautiful odd to dogs, who through the years still prove to be our best friends.
From the very first page, you're hooked on Fleetwood, a strong, exceptionally built character, who gives you a beautiful insight into a teenager's mind in the medieval era.
More than a perfect picture, The Familiars serve as a true inspiration to our days.
