4.0

THE NATURE OF WITCHES was a gorgeous, emotional book that is ultimately about a girl learning to love herself. Clara's character arc -- from a girl scared of her volatile magic, capable of killing those she cares about; to a witch fully embracing her powers -- is very satisfying to read, and one that many readers will be able to see themselves in despite the magical setting. Clara's internal conflicts over what happens with the next stage after her life would make this book a great fit for older readers, and the unique, season-based magical system will appeal to readers looking for something a little bit different.

Thank you to Sourcebooks for providing me with an ARC.
