The Witch's Tears by Katharine Corr, Elizabeth Corr
3.0
Sometimes you wake up and are like: "No, I don't feel like reading the book I had planned, I want to read another book!" and that's exactly what happened to me yesterday. I woke up and wanted to read this book and who am I to not listen to my gut feeling? Exactly! And so yesterday evening, after the prologue of the Vuelta was done, I picked this book up and started reading.
This book reads just as fast and easily as the first book. The writing style is really nice and flowing and the book does never give too much information. It skips days without a problem, especially when nothing interesting is happening, and therefore the story moves along quite nicely. On top of that it once again contains so many wonderful fairytale elements! I really love all those nods and winks.
But, the book did lack something that the first book had. The first book was magical, truly magical. It was like reading a fairytale. This book didn't have that atmosphere and I was a little disappointed by that. I was really hoping for another fairytale-like mystery story and that's not what this book was. But, I have great hopes that this book was building up towards the third book and that the third book will be just as epic as the first.
Because the ending of the book, of this story, was clearly the beginning of another one, of a more interesting one. It was as if this entire book was nothing but a built up towards that epic conclusion. It was as if this book was nothing but the bridge between the first and the last book, a book that had to be written and a story that had to be told to get to the more interesting part.
And I can't wait to read it!
