 Hello everybody, E here. Welcome back to another book review. If you guys remember If you're new here, you won't. If you guys recall, I posted a little while back about the ladies of horror fiction They're on Instagram and Twitter and they have their own website. You definitely need to check them out I'll leave a link to them down there in the doobly-doo. You can go check them out for yourself all them everywhere But the reason I bring them up is because I never would have found this book without them I have not seen it talked about anywhere else other than them and that's one of the big problems with Not the problem with a feet with female horror writers But as the problem with the community is we I just don't see there are so many It seems like there's a constant stream of male authors in my Twitter feed Instagram feed and then every now and again you see a female horror novel of well a novel by Female author this is hag by Kathleen Kauffman and it is one of the it is probably I'm gonna go ahead and double down It is the best witch novel I have ever read as of right now hex by A guy whose name I'm not even gonna try to pronounce It's probably really easy to pronounce but I can't remember the name And I know it's Swedish or Norwegian or whatever rage at me about getting that wrong down there in the comments But this one is Fantastic, I really don't have anything bad to say about it There is one warning that I want to give you guys and I hate that I even have to warn you But I got a lot of people Not the majority, but there was a certain subset of people who did not like Jack gents the grip of it because they felt that there were no answers I am not trying to say anything Untoward to them, but just because you didn't understand the book doesn't mean that there's no answers It didn't have much of a plot and I think that's where some people get Get confused with answers and plot and all that stuff there are certain Genres of literature that the only purpose is to invoke or evoke an emotion whether that be dread whether that be irony well any number of things and Usually that stuff is considered literary fiction and then you have genre fiction in genre fiction You will find a plot usually you will find a very strict adherence to a plot line story line whatever This is one of those or you also have a very clear Antagonist and protagonist and a very clear conflict in books like hag and the grip of it You do not have that clear Positive that clear negative there is no as far as I'm concerned there is no villain in this book It is a story that revolves around a lifetime I won't say how long but and a group of Women with matriarch at the top kind of deal and like I said, I don't want to give too much away It does jump back and forth between farther past and past and then you are following this Woman's timeline in another one you're following a different woman's timeline in the other one It can be a little maybe confusing for some But it is one of those stories that if you are going into it for an explosive Climactic ending you will definitely Definitely be upset. I am giving this five stars because it was for me a perfect experience It was very hard to put down. It was very easy very creepy And if you do not mind reading something just for the emotion of it if you like literary fiction I highly highly recommend it if you don't Don't read it But it is my opinion that not everything needs to have a plot and not everything needs to have a set Strict adherence to a plot line or storyline and this is one of those books man that just is a perfect Experience for me. So have you read hag by Kathleen Kauffman? Let me know down there in the comments below, but until next time I have been a you and you this has been another book review I'll talk to you guys later. Bye. Bye
