Once a Witch by Carolyn MacCullough
4.0
Give me to read a book with time traveling and you can take my soul! The journeys to the past and the mysteries of time and space have always excited me as the presence of a hero in the past is needed in order for some things to happen and in the same time one mistake can jeopardize the future. So, naturally, I was pleasantly surprised when I realized that the heroes were traveling back in time!
But the time travel isn't the only reason I count "Once a witch" among my favorite books of the last year. The way Carolyn MacCullough writes is unique, she isn't hurrying to tell the story of Tasmin,on the contrary she devotes time in the presentation of the characters, of the environment in which they live, and as a result we quickly sympathize with them and we read the story with greater interest.
A teenager who tries to prove that she is worthy to her family, a charming but dangerous stranger, a friend from the past and an object with great power is the recipe for a terrible mess that I suggest you read!
