Plain Kate

Very grimdark, much burning witches.
I started skimming more and more in the second half. Kate has no character development and she keeps on feeling powerless throughout the whole book. Other characters are not fleshed out. Even the main char Kate is fairly one dimension. She carves wood, she's an orphan and she yearns to belong. That's it. The ending isn't satisfying, it has the same depressing feel as the rest of it.
