I really liked the emphasis on historical accuracy and how the author took his time with the witch trial scenes (showing exactly how this might have gone down in the past, and including a skeptical judge to play up the tension between religious superstition and scientific reason). Then the final third takes even another turn, lurching into a strange and chaotic revenge story. Overall I liked the pacing and what happens in the book, as well as the author's attempt to write in a style that is more historically accurate while also feeling brisk and modern. Though there are some moments and plot points that I'm still a little unclear on, I would still recommend this if you're into historical horror, witchcraft, and revenge tales.
