Why read it?

About a young girl that learns her power, becoming an intuitive or a wise woman. At it's core, it's really about finding your power, mastering it, and using it in different ways for good.

These books are about the power in women and the power of femininity in men. It's subversive in a way, she's writing against the church dogma, even though she was of the church.
