The story of the Heretic's Daughter by Kathleen Kent is based on the life of Martha Carrier and her family.
Martha Carrier was among the first women ever to be accused, found guilty and hung for being a witch during the Salem Witch Trials. The story is narrated by Martha Carrier's 10 year old daughter Sarah and reads as if it were her autobiography.
I love these types of stories and was ready to dig into it. The details and the plot of the story were good but overall it left me disappointed and unsatisfied, and ready to start my next book.
The pace in the beginning was slow and it took quite some time before the story would actually keep my interest up. Also, throughout the book the author would go into great detail that would catch my attention and get me excited, but then would quite often give away the cliffhanger by revealing too much information too early. And when I expected her to, or needed her to delve more into a character, she only supplied brief details and explanations and left you wondering even at the end. The storytelling just was not consistent.
The Heretic's Daughter was definitely a book to put down. If you felt otherwise write a comment and tell everyone what you thought.
