Review: Beautifully written "Awakening of a Witch"
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 07 8, 2012
The really outstanding feature of this book, the first part of the Fern witches series, is the sheer beauty of the story telling itself: evocative descriptions of nature, great prose, wonderful use of words, wonderful sentence structure. The writing sometimes borders on poetic prose. The editing is superb.The story itself is well-told, interesting and the idea of witches in New England in our time and age (instead of urban, paranormal fantasy, this is rural paranormal fantasy) is well-planted into the readers mind. There is not much suspense here and sometimes the "inner workings" of the characters are rather shown (which is usually a good thing) and come sometimes unexpected. The set of characters has a feel of family and as a reader it is easy to fall in love with the setting and the people inhabiting it.Great read.
