The Nature of Witches is enchanting, and had me enraptured from beginning to end! It’s a book full of change, and ill tidings, and growth, and destruction, and I found solace in its pages. 

Rachel Griffin took the climate crisis, and she took magic, and she took love, and she put it all together with so much care. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter; the botanical illustrations at the beginning of every season; the supporting characters and the seasons they personified; everything in this book had so much purpose and care behind it. This book feels like not just a love story between Clara and Sang, or between Clara and herself, but also between the reader and the world we live in.

The writing was amazing, the story was beautiful, and the characters brought it all to life. Five stars.
