Review: The Orphan Witch by Paige Crutcher

 

Thanks to Netgalley for providing me a copy of this book, but I did NOT like this. I ended up giving this a 1 star. I substituted the book that I originally had in my spell the month in books TBR for the letter O. I am so disappointed with this book. It was mostly the writing but I think I also have read to many witch books this year because everything that I read in this book, I was just remembering The Nature of Witches or Salt Magic, and The Hazel Wood.

This was just a hot mess that dragged. all of the characters were very flat. Persephone was stupid throughout most of the book and then at the end she is the one who thinks and fixes everything. I also rolled my eyes every time the word SPINE was mentioned.

I feel the author wanted to put everything into her book and she did, but it just didn't mesh well. I also have questions. Why didn't Persephone have a sister? This book was about sisters who are witches. There was three main and each one had two daughters. Where is the other sister? PLOT FAIL!

Also, the relationship between Dorian and Persephone was unnecessary. There were no other men involved in the story at all. Just leave him as a guardian and the love of the family would have been enough for Persephone.
