King has managed this section of the book incredibly well and as a result is worth mentioning here. I will not expanding into the realm of spoilers but anyone with knowledge of The Pendle Witch Trials of 1612 will understand. The book achieved what a book hasn't in a long time with me and that was to make me angry. Curious, intelligent and a little too imaginative sums up Jennet and throughout the book we witness her struggle with revelations and question her very family healers, witches or both? What I enjoyed about this book is it gives the reader an insight to the Device family from within and more than that from the view of an inquisitive child. The story is set during the events of The Gisburn Witch, another of King's novels. The story follows that of Jennet Device, the young illegitimate daughter of Elizabeth Device.
