A.G. Slatter's The Briar Book of the Dead
Normally I really enjoy Slatter's books, but this wasn’t my favorite (it’s related to Of Sorrow and Such, which I really liked). It involves a young woman from a family of witches, but she’s the only one without powers (it’s pretty clear she will eventually discover a power if you’ve ever read a book before, but I did like the reveal when it came, so I won’t spoil it). It's pretty slow, though—there are lots of secrets and the reveals are very dragged out. Still, interesting characters and I liked the focus on storytelling. B+.
