The Nature of Witches started really strongly, it truly has some beautiful writing. However, it just doesn't hit the spot when it comes to the story or world building for me. Not to mention that Clara just becomes irritating after a while.
It feels like the same few story beats over and over, then the book ends. Her love interest, Shang, is another character that starts well but he's gradually reduced to a pair of lips which is off putting to say the least. Paige, Clara's exgirlfriend, is the only one who doesn't become annoying and that may be because she's just not in it that much.
I did enjoy the book but it's very surface level in every aspect. That disappointed me because it began as if it would be more.
