I just started this book and I’m irritated with it from the beginning. I’ll keep going for a bit to see if it compensates otherwise, but I found it flat out disrespectful for the author to give the 1800s Romani family a Wiccan religious/magic practice which itself is based in Celtic traditions. It’s sloppy and racist to trade in the mythos of Roma magic without actually representing Romani cultural history.
