I think I got that book last summer or spring sometime. I thought it was terribly engrossing, and I was very interested in the 'period' aspects of it.

It wasnt until I finsihed it that I realizied I was reading young adult fiction. I then handed it to my 12 year old niece as she left for Lake Shasta and said "Here, reading material".

She was totally put off by the cover art, but got home and said, "You didnt tell me it was a witchcraft book!!!"

I'm not sure that was how I'd describe it, but hey, she thought it was interesting.
I'm with you Morri. If you see the book, and like to read, give it a go. Intersting plot, with enough differences to keep you guessing.
