The Root Witch by Debra Castaneda
2.0
This was a 3 star book with a 1 star ending. The story I wanted was one about Nature. Not nature, but Nature - that terrible and beautiful force that we occasionally bump up against when we wander into the wild places. And what that force might turn into in a desperate attempt to survive.
But sadly, this book didn't give me that story. I disliked most of the characters except for Knox, Sandy, and Mitch. I wanted more of the story to take place in the forest. That part of the book I enjoyed. I was bored by Sandy's narrative and really didn't feel like it added anything to the book. And just when the book actually started focusing on the creature in the forest, it just ended.
