Bethanie of Bethanie Brain Review posted her review of John Lawson’s Sorrow, A Witch Ember Tale.
“Definitely my kind of book. In fact, not only is Sorrow a serious contender for the Bethanie’s Favorite-Books-of-All-Time list, but it has also made the Yes-I-Want-A-Hard-Copy list, which is huge, because there are very few books that merit an allowance of space in my teeny, tiny house, as well as the I-Can’t-Wait-To-Read-It-Again list. The plot moves quickly. Sorrow is full of good characters. They are as vivid as the world they live in, as human as anyone you know, and are drawn with heartbreaking detail, like the woman who makes a doll for every miscarriage she has so when she eventually has a child, it can play with its brothers and sisters. (That one killed me… *sobs*). I hate endings. I suck at endings. I can’t write a proper ending to save my life. To see an ending so expertly put together is amazing.”
