Eva Evergreen and the Cursed Witch by Julie Abe
3.0
The magic of this sequel wasn't quite enough to exceed, or match, it's predecessor. The Cursed Witch felt more like a straight continuation of the first, leaving no space for the growth that I had hoped for.
Everything feels too convenient. Characters appear where they are needed without any real logic, making the eorld feel small and artificial.
Lots of small things annoyed me reading this, none big enough to make me hate it, but enough to scupper any sense of enjoyment I might have gleaned. If the editing were tighter then it would be much better, but the story still feels strangely hollow. It isn't bad but it does nothing to make me remember anything about it in a few years' time.
