Private Passions Book

This is more of a two and a half stars, but I thought I'd round up. It's an enjoyable book--very suspenseful even when all that's happening at first is two women meeting each other. And the characters are all very interesting, with the two (four?) leads being likeable.

My issues with it:
-The whole thing with Dina being magic because she's descended from mixed-race Manhattan-Norwegian ancestors is pretty skeevy. The magic/spiritual aspects of this book in general seemed pretty skeevy to me (I suppose part of it probably draws from real Native American mythology, but I always kind of side-eye magical Native Americans in books by white authors).
-Puritans descending into burning everyone they dislike also feels kind of stereotypical. Not that there were no witch hunts in America, but the Salem witch trials weren't exactly a common phenomenon.
-It's really unclear even at the end whether Dina and Christabel are reincarnations of OG Christabel and Rahdonee or just descendants or what.

So this is kind of the rare book where I would like it better if magic were left out of it and it were just about Christabel wanting to escape an abusive relationship. Unfortunately that would eliminate maybe 70% of the book, so... oh well?
