The book was a quick and easy read with simple yet effective prose and wonderful details colouring Fleetwood’s world. Various examples for this are attested in the sources of the time, for instance, Joan Prentice from Essex, England, gave an account when she was interrogated for witchcraft in 1589 claiming that she was "alone in her chamber, and sitting upon a low stool preparing herself to bedward" when her familiar first appeared to her, while the Cornish cunning-woman Anne Jeffries related in 1645 that hers first appeared to her when she was "knitting in an arbour in our garden".For a modern witch to lay claim to a familiar spirit, the animal must have made a pact with the witch. They found out that the crown is really a circle formed by seven ancient stones, each of which speaks the name of an animal upon contact.

Once there she sees text messages from her friends asking her about the "big surprise," but she still doesn't know what it is. Her first book, The Familiars, was the bestselling debut hardback novel of 2019, won a Betty Trask Award and was shortlisted for the British Book Awards Debut Book of the Year. Walking in on an arrest, Özgür speaks briefly to an apprehended youth, Marvin d'Organidrelle (aka Android).The length of time that the witch or cunning person worked with their familiar spirit varied between a few weeks through to a number of decades. Since the 20th century some magical practitioners, including adherents of the Neopagan religion of Wicca, use the concept of familiars, due to their association with older forms of magic. Then she discovers that it is sleeping in bed beside her and assumes Anwar or Astair must have brought it up. From the doorway of the nearby house, Miz, a weathered member of the group, asks them if they're staying for breakfast. A wonderful novel, enthralling, spellbinding, terrifying, full of twists and turns, written with heart and style - and the final chapters will have you racing to the end.
