The Winter Witch by Paula Brackston

3.0

This book held my attention throughout almost the whole book, the story of Morgana and how she chooses not to speak due to previous trauma was really interesting to me. She was to be this super powerful witch that didn't realize she was super powerful. Her witch power has yet to be untapped and discovered. I would've liked if she would've started talking maybe half way throughout the book. I get why she doesn't but it would've been maybe a better take on the story if she did. She spends half of the book discovering her relationship with Cai and the other half discovering how to become a great witch. Cai was a great character, coming over the death of his previous wife he is drawn towards Morgana. He has patience beyond his years to handle Morgana and her different ways. He loves his farm and animals more than life itself. So seeing that Morgana loves the farm and outdoors so much really settles his heart and I enjoyed their interactions outdoors so much more. Cai is an overall good guy and I think that's what made me like him so much.
The style and setting of the book was well written, did I like how the bad people were set up not really. There was no background on why they were the way they were. Why did the main bad person wait so long to do what they did? Where did they come from? Onward and upward. I loved all the Welsh terms and visual settings that were explained.
