Witch Fall was a nice book. It may not be one of my favorites, but there is definitely something about this series that pulls at my interest. It's a very interesting one, and I'm looking forward to reading more from it!MY FAVORITE THINGThe world. It's quite unique. There are witches that control elements through song. They sing. How cool is that? It's one of the biggest things that grabs my interest in this series and makes me read the books. It seems like a such a small thing—liking a book a lot for simply having witches that sing—but it's so different and awesome. I love the whole concept behind the kinds of witches and I love how it was carried out in this book (and Witch Song).I also really liked how this prequel had a Chinese influence in its world. Again, it may seem small, but I have a thing for books with Asian historical elements. They stand out! Between the descriptions and the people (and the elephant; I have to mention the elephant), there were many nice cultural touches that I really liked.MY LEAST FAVORITE THINGIt was. Really. Slow. I trudged through this book. While I liked the story and the characters quite a bit, it took forever for me to read. This book isn't the most engaging (neither was Witch Song—that one took me a long time to read to) or thrilling, but thankfully, that was one of the only things I didn't like about it.OVERALLWitch Fall is a good prequel! It ties in real nicely with Witch Song. It had a really cool world that made reading the book worthwhile, as well as a decent story and set of characters. While it felt incredibly slow for me, it may not feel that way for others. If you're seeking a good, witchy series, I recommend looking to this one!Source: I received an e-ARC copy of this book return for an honest review.
