A review by the_bookworm_rabbit
The Witch Handbook to Magic and Mayhem by Tish Thawer

fast-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? Character
  • Strong character development? No

2.5

The premise of the story was great and had so much potential, but the execution failed. This felt like the first draft of the story. 

Pros:
* Interesting concept 
* So much potential (that wasn't reached) 

What could have been improved:
* There needed to be so much more world building. 
* The characters needed to be fleshed out more. They didn't really have much personality yet. The author could have spent more time developing them to help us get more attached to them. 
* Another round of editing and fleshing out the story would have done wonders. 
*The plot was rushed too much.
