The lukewarm love triangle between her and two generic suitors is just formulaic, especially when compared to the more compelling relationship with society. Cate is pulled between family obligations and societal pressures-she has only a few short months to find a husband lest the Brotherhood assign one, but marriage will take her away from her sisters. A discovered witch is subject to terrifying penalties, and the Brotherhood has been intensifying its witch-finding efforts. Unfortunately, her mother neglected to leave much guidance. Protecting her sisters, who chafe under her too-watchful eye, was the last request that Cate’s mother, a fellow witch, asked of her before dying. Ever since their mother died, Cate has been responsible not just for raising her sisters, but for making sure that they stay safe and undiscovered by the Brotherhood priests as witches.
