Kaija was raised in the forest by her grandmother, alongside her sister Minna. In the forest they were safe to practice their craft and be the witches they are but life was hard. Kaija wanted more. She missed friends and a sense of community. She was plagued by memories of her mother being burned at the stake for being a witch but she still wanted a family, a husband and children. With the death of her grandmother, she knew it was time to go back to the settlement. Minna would never go, but Kaija wanted her to. The sisters were such opposites. Minna was passionate, powerful and a true witch. Kaija was quiet, patient and liked the protective and healing spells.
The Witches at the End of the World by Chelsea Iversen is a novel based on historical facts. In this book we explore the depths of passions and joys of life. This is truly an adventure of all kinds. I highly recommend this book.
I got this book from my sister, Jamie Holloway. You can get your own copy of The Witches at the End of the World by Chelsea Iversen on Amazon.

The Witches at the End of the World by Chelsea Iversen
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Two sisters that are so different but share the fate of being witches. Deep in the woods of Finnmark, Norway in Autumn of 1677, Kaija and Minna bury their grandmother, who has raised them to know the art and history of their ancestors after their mother was burned at the stake for being a witch. Minna is a witch through and through, yet Kaija is more gentle in spirit and misses community life and wants to marry and have children. She has decided that she is going to leave the woods and venture back to the place of her childhood and leave the solitude of the forest.
The Witches at the End of the World by Chelsea Iversen is a powerful novel based on historical facts. Although Kaija and Minna are not real people, their characters are well developed and during the story, they find that they are not so opposite. This book is full of passion, romance, action and adventure. I could not put it down. I really enjoyed this book.

My name is Summer. That is how you can call me. I hope that I am a blessing to you. I am not perfect. I will fall again. But I am forgiven. For anyone reading this that isn’t a Christian, unapologetically, I am a Christian, but I believe there is room for lots of beliefs and religions in the world. It is not my intent to offend people with different beliefs than I have and I would be open to open-minded conversations with no goals of changing anyone’s mind, but sharing information. If you are interested in becoming a Christian…Do you know Jesus? Do want the Holy Spirit to fill you and give you understanding and salvation? Ask Him. Want someone to pray with you? Contact me.
If you would like to know Jesus as your friend, but want to make this amazing commitment by yourself please pray something like this: Thank you Jesus that You are the Son of God, the God that created heaven and earth. Thank you Jesus that You came to earth in the form of a man so that You would be able to empathize with my humanity. Thank You that You did this in order to fulfill the promises You made at the foundation of the world. I realize that I am a sinner and do things that hurt myself and keep myself away from you. Thank You that You died for my sins so that You could defeat death and bring me into Your life. Please forgive me. I ask You to be Lord of my life. I ask you to heal my hurts and show me what my new life, empowered by You looks like. Thank You for Your mercy.
