keipotato 's review for:

The Witch's Daughter by Paula Brackston
1.0

(Audiobook version)
First thing first
[T R I G G E R. WARNING]!
***sexual assult, r**pe***
I'm unsure about the physical book but the audio vsersion doesn't have any pre-cautions which is concerning.
It's rather cruel not taking this matter into consideration. I'd overlook but it won't be the case for others.

Second thing,
I'm not into witches in humans world but I always try to read out of the zone.

The narrator has a calm voice and her voice acting is nice!

I quite enjoyed many parts of the story that I hoped they were the main idea.
Maybe if there were a variety of POVs and third person singular I'd have enjoyed it better.

Anyways, the flow was too slow paced I couldn't survive the first 30 minutes of listening. A year passed (now 2022) and yay! finally into the mood of calm yet magic related stories so I went on with it.
The story would have been great if it time travelling had been one of the genres, or just took the past as the main. Mostly unrelated back and forth past-present switching was confusing and made me lose the track of the story.
My very least unjoyable part is the present with the teenager,I can't tell why but scattered and nothing connected is what I felt. It could be because I didn't feel connected to the protagonist so i couldn't care less.

I'm sorry when I sound mean,I know that I'm no author or writer but as a reader I was somewhat disappointed. Still I would get the book one day for moods of reading something calm yet has some chaos.

I really wished that that she would develop some powers, learn something new,meet others like her but none happened. How she developed all was so vague. It's true that in the end the teen has the POV but that barely changed much as I just could tell how it would end.
