Well, Bathsheba's a real witch with a capital "B".
Seriously? That's the one criteria for being a witch? Whether or not you have prophecy? That's pretty freaking strict.
On the other hand, I did like Cecilia's little slip into self-doubt and insecurity. But I feel that was kind of brushed over. I know that she's trying to escape into "well, I can just live a normal life" running away so it's not resolved yet, but I felt that there was a lot more you could squeeze out of these feelings of inadequacy. Remember how long she's been desperate to be a witch, how much energy she's spent. You could get multiple chapters out of that broken spirit. Plus, I feel that would reflect on her feelings for Anselm. You touched on a little about how she doesn't feel "worthy" of him, and I wonder how heavily she really felt that, because it just seemed like a passing, brief insecurity. But otherwise, I really like this direction and I can't wait to see what Anselm says to snap Cecilia out of it!
