A review by airic_fenn
The Vine Witch by Luanne G. Smith

4.0

A book with a unique concept and a refreshing magic system in the way that much of it reflects real-life magic, herbalism and the like. It was obvious the author did her research, and I enjoyed learning a surprising amount about wine-making as I followed the main character, Elena’s, journey through the story.
As far as world building goes, there was just enough to give me a taste of the different kinds of witches and magic-users that live beyond the french region in which the story takes place.
The ending was satisfying, if a little drawn out for my taste, and while predictable, it still managed to throw in an extra twist.
