The Orphan Witch
by Paige Crutcher
*this arc was sent to me by the publisher to give an honest review in return*
I liked this book which is about a girl named Persephone who is lonely as she was abandoned when she was young but she accidentally exposes magic one day which leads her to Wile Isle which involves a curse and family feud that she must solve. I’m a sucker for books with witches in them. For this book, I enjoyed the overall story plot and could see what it was getting at. The beginning was easy to get into but the pacing got a little slow and didn’t pick up pace which made it a little difficult for me to stay focused. The world building was okay in a way I understand the world in ways how magic world and the family relations but at some parts it would get complicated. The beginning and middle of the story was great as the story was fun but the ending got complicated and I was lost half of the time.
I have to say that the characters saved the book for me. I enjoyed Persephone’s character as she has to go through a lot and had a great character development. I also enjoyed the side characters especially Persephone’s sisters and the great sisterhood bond. There are also villains in this book that are witches which is really amazing. There is sadly no romance in the book but I loved how the theme of family played in this book instead.
The ending was kind of rough in my opinion and could have been better. The writing style just wasn’t for me but the characters were great. I think those who love complicated magic systems would enjoy this book more so I recommend it to them. But if you think you will like it I recommend it to fans of witches and Medusa stories.
