A review by emiliedeeann
The Near Witch by V.E. Schwab

5.0

4.5 stars rounded to 5. A friend purchased this book for me, and I can see why. The words form together poetically, flowing easier than most stories do. The characters all remind you of somebody. The story makes you smile, feel anxious, and feel grateful. Plus, the book itself is stunning.

Ironically, I sat snuggling my black cat with orange eyes for the last 100 pages of the book, while 3 different kinds of bugs found their way into my clean bed and tried to dissuade me from finishing. There’s a witch out there who didn’t want me to reach a happy ending, apparently.
