Why Did I Read? The Grisha trilogy is one of my favorite fantasy series so I was beyond excited when I heard that there was going to be a new series set in the Grishaverse!

I also was highly interested in the Salem witch trials (I loved the play The Crucible and the book The Witch of Blackbird Pond— the latter I read when I was really young and probably started my whole phase!)
