A review by bookishaddy
The Lost Witch by Paige Crutcher
3.0
When you tell me a book resembles Charmed in even the slightest, I am all in.
Brigid Heron, a witch, healer, and right hand to a Goddess, is Evermore's protector, and watches over to make sure the Lough is untouched by chaos looking to disrupt it. When a god comes in and offers to grant Brigid her dream, she is willing to do anything, including betray her Goddess. Years after her dream was given to her, a spell goes wrong and Brigid is cast a century into the future.
Waking up in her same home, just a hundred years later, Brigid finds herself with no memories, surrounded by two other witches from her bloodline, the god from her past, Luc Knightly, and an endless amount of monsters that are threatening to destroy Evermore.
This book had soo much potential. I was waiting to fall in love with it the whole time. I think Crutcher had an exciting storyline, and interesting characters, but they failed to deliver and live up to their full potential. I wish the beginning of the story would have been set up better, and that the timeline throughout was much clearer.
From the bits we got of Knightly, I loved him. I wish we got a stronger relationship dynamic between them throughout. Ophelia and Finola needed more backstory, but otherwise their relationship with Brigid was developed well throughout. There were random times when Finola's podcast transcript were thrown into the book and they felt extremely out of place.
My overall issues with the book were the pacing and lack of development that could have made this experience a lot more exciting. The potential was there!
Thank you NetGalley, St. Martin's Press, and Paige Crutcher for the ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review!
