The Vine Witch by Luanne G. Smith is a book that promises a lot with its magical winemaking and a witch's quest for justice in historical France. Unfortunately, I found the book to be slow and tedious. While the premise was great and had a lot of potential, I struggled to connect with the characters and felt disconnected throughout the story.

One of the book's positives is the author's elegant writing style and creativity. The beginning and ending were enjoyable, but the middle failed to deliver. It was a "saggy" middle that lacked excitement and failed to capture my attention.

Overall, I was disappointed with The Vine Witch. While it had a lot of potential, it could have delivered on the promise of an exciting story about magical winemaking and a witch's quest for justice.
