A review by linderrbee
The Orphan Witch by Paige Crutcher

3.0

I enjoy fantasy stories and ones about witches come in a close second after vampires. The synopsis of The Orphan Witch sounded intriguing. Persephone May bouncing around foster care because strange and unexpected things happen to her. Now an adult, when strange things happen, she just picks up and moves. Then she receives an email from an old acquaintance to come to Wile Isle. Once there she discovers that she is actually a witch.

This book has a few things I like about magical books – found family, a love interest and a curse to break. I did have a hard time getting through the story. I was hoping for a little more action. The pacing was slow and at times the plot was confusing. I’d recommend this for fantasy readers that enjoy a character driven story.

Thank you to NetGalley, and St. Martin’s Press for providing me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
