It experiences all-natural for our stormy witches to follow coming from the Scottish Highlands. Poltergeists differ coming from hillside to hill. But there is actually a touch of territorial affection as well. Check out at the Irish readers upset with Sarah J. Maas, and also the portrayal of Hybern/Ireland as the villains. Not a great step from a British writer, nor her very first artificial pas.
