I'll just say that this is a more psychological book, more internally focussed, more driven by the character and experiences of the three and especially, of Autumn. That's where the review gets tricky because I don't want to give too much away. The story again revolves around Autumn, Judith and Lizzie, shopkeeper, wise woman and Vicar, collectively the Witches of Lychford, protectors of that ancient Cotswold town from outside supernatural threats. The change of approach may put some readers off: I felt it makes this book decidedly the best of the series so far. This book is a continuation of the Witches of Lychford series, but it's rather different from Witches of Lychford and The Lost Child of Lychford.

Beautifully written, perfectly cruel, and ultimately kind. This is the story of a village, not a city, and all the more powerful for that not all big fantasy needs an urban setting. Some welcome the employment opportunities, while some object to the modernization of the local environment.Judith Mawson (local crank) knows the truth - that Lychford lies on the boundary between two worlds, and that the destruction of the border will open wide the gateways to malevolent beings beyond imagination.But if she is to have her voice heard, she's going to need the assistance of some unlikely allies.PRAISE FOR Paul Cornell's THE WITCHES OF LYCHFORD"e At once epic and terribly intimate. A supermarket wants to build a major branch on their border. Traveler, Cleric, Witch.The villagers in the sleepy hamlet of Lychford are divided.
