The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin
slow-paced
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? No
1.5
the premise - witch magic that depends on the seasons? 🔥
the novel on the other hand - had a lot of potential, and I liked that it raises awareness on the climate change!, which makes it even worse that it was so underwhelming, though.
Clara was awfully annoying and one-dimensional. her behaviour and constant worrying was okay for some chapters, but she continues to be unnecessarily whiny
then there’s the famous “let’s not talk about things and work through them together, instead break up and drown in self-pity”-trope mixed with constant repetitions of what has already been said —
also once again noticing that I don’t like urban fantasy in 9/10 cases
Schade!
