The Orphan Witch by Paige Crutcher

2.0

The Orphan Witch focuses on a witch named Persephone who is lost in the world with no family and powers that she doesn't understand. A seemingly chance encounter with a woman named Hyacinth brings her into a world that is both confusing and magical. I have a soft spot for the wandering and add magic and I was excited to read this book. Unfortunately it did not work for me. I found the story to be confusing much of the time. The plot is a little flip floppy which made it hard to grasp what exactly the issue is that needs to be resolved. Character names sometimes get mixed up.

Spoiler

At one point Hyacinth is talked about in the past tense to another character but the character is never actually told she died

The book could have used another read through from an editor. This was an e-arc so maybe it did in the final print.

Thank you Netgalley for an e-arc of this book in exchange for an honest review.
