The Last Windwitch by Jennifer Adam
4.0
Another delightful middle grade fantasy debut to add to your TBR right now.
Once a land of prosperity and happiness, Fenwood Reach has been overcome by dark magic, after the last powerful Windwitch was driven from the land. In the small village of Oak Hollow, Brida, the hedgewitch’s apprentice, struggles to make her magic work as it’s meant to and manages to make a mistake that will change the course of her life-she catches the attention of the evil queen. As she runs from the queen’s huntsman and her all-seeing murder of crows, Brida begins to unlock the clues of her family, her magic, and who she is destined to be. With this knowledge will she be able to save those she loves and restore the magic in the land she lives in?
You’ll have to read it to find out.
This book contains all of my favorite middle grade fantasy attributes- magic rooted in nature, a brave young female protagonist, fantastical beasts, and a villain with imagination and a sense of humor.
During her journey, Brida discovers new villages and cities in what feels like an epic magical world, each different setting breathing new life into the story. Atmospheric and engrossing, Fenwood Reach also contains an eclectic group of characters both lovable and despicable you won’t soon forget. I also really enjoyed that this realm is deeply enriched with storytelling. This book is a great example which demonstrates that, in a world of good versus of evil, it’s our choices that determine our destiny.
Whether reading aloud to the family or a quiet evening in with a never ending bowl of ice cream, The Last Windwitch by @jenniferfadam is a book I’m sure you will enjoy.
Thank you @netgalley and @harpercollinsch for the opportunity to read and review this book.
