A review by sylvilel
The Vine Witch by Luanne G. Smith
Bailed at 9%.
To me this smacks suspiciously like another cheap, quasi-feminist tale. I don’t like the overabundance of descriptions (wich are proving to be a DEAD giveaway for these kinds of books), and this is a good example of a story that isn’t allowed to live it’s own life.
Already this early in, it feels hollow, and like a lot of it’s main topics are going to lack any kind of substantial foundation, or serve the story in any useful way.
Reminds me A LOT of «The Lost Apothecary» in both structure, writing and lack of soul, and I didn’t like THAT book either.
