Hedgewitch by Skye McKenna

Only show reviews with written explanations

This was an absolutely beautiful, magical, cosy book! I absolutely LOVED the magic, the witches, goblins, imps and other magical creatures and elements of this story. It was written really beautifully with lots of fantastical language and lore.

The plot was well paced with interesting sub-plots and opportunities for future development. I’m excited to read more of this series and journey some more into the land of faerie!

The book was too big and there wasn't enough descriptions. Sorry if this book is great but I just didn't give it a chance. I like books like this normally like the worst witch.

Such a fun children's book! It started off a bit bleak, but once our main character escapes the drab boarding school and moves to live with her aunt, who happens to be the hedge witch guarding the border between England and the Land of Fair, I quickly became engrossed in the storey. It's whimsical, funny, wholesome and magical. I have a weak spot for the found family trope and it was well executed in this book, really enjoyed the friendships she built with her fellow witches and some talking animals. I also appreciated that the typical 'mean' characters got some backstory, but plenty still to explore in the next books! Immediately moving on to the next one.
