I discovered Mhara Starling during my brief foray into TikTok. She‘s a delightful resource on Wales and witchcraft, especially since I‘ve always been interested in the mythology and folklore of Wales. This book is more of the same—more detail in some places than in her social media. I especially liked the deeper explanations of Welsh folklore. However, it badly—desperately—needed an editor. I am extremely disappointed in the publisher, Llewellyn.

I‘m enjoying this book so far (as I knew I would—I follow Mhara Starling on social media and I preordered this as soon as I could) but I‘m disappointed in the editing. There are a lot of sentence fragments and comma splices. A few here and there for flavor are one thing, but there are so many it‘s distracting! The spelling is UK so maybe UK grammar rules are more different than I thought?
