The Near Witch, by V.E. Schwab

5.0

I don’t know where to begin with this. Victoria Schwab is a beautiful mind. Her writing is so captivating it was unbearable to put this story down. The story of the Near Witch is reminiscent of all the folk lore tales grandparents and great grandparents shared with us growing up. The character crafting is stunning and while the storyline as a whole could be considered basic in a sense, Schwab’s definitive touch makes it an exception to typical story telling. I highly recommend this for an introduction into Schwab’s writing. I loved this story from beginning to end and wish I could read it again for the first time, I know for a fact it will become one of my favourites and I’ll be recommending it to everyone
