The water witch by Jess Thorne
Publication date 5th August 2022
Brittany, France. Ariadne Walker’s fiancé Simon drowned in the stormy Atlantic Ocean doing what he loved: searching for the lost underwater city of Ys. Local legend says it was destroyed centuries ago when the princess of Ys became a water witch, cursing the name of the man who betrayed her.
What would you do if love of your life dies when looking for city that is actually underwater? What if your brother is still looking for it? And there is this man, who believes that he is cursed and you are his only chance to live?
Book started as a slow read, but as soon as I got more into it I couldn’t stop reading it and put it away. All story is so perfectly written that when you read you see it all visually in your mind, thinking “did I just watched it or read it” I could definitely see it as a movie or series !!!
The Water Witch is mystery combined with fantasy, slow burn romance between Ari and Rafael even though their love interest isn’t fully open and explored.
Jessica Thorne wrote this book as retelling of one of The Brittany, France folklore stories and I loved how it turned out.
The only thing that turned my 5 starts to 4 - loads of French words and names that I had no clue what they meant.
Over all, good and enjoyable read, would definitely recommend to those who loves fantasy, mystery and maybe a little bit of detective type of books !
Thank you NetGalley for this arc and opportunity to read this beautiful work!!
I voluntarily read and reviewed copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
