"...ashes fell all around Willow like snow as a loud electric sound vibrated and popped in the air..."Willow is a typical witch. Apart from the fact she has extraordinary powers that she didn't know she had. She thought she was an average 1st degree witch, with normal, witch friends, until an event that was supposed to be the best day of her life, turned very, very wrong. She found out she had a healing power, a power so rare, it caught the attention of the QUEEN OF WITCHES. Not a good thing, by the way. The queen, Hekate, desires to extract Willows power, which will end Willows life, and make Hekate stronger. To prevent this, Willow goes on a terrifying, horrific journey that will change her life. Will the love for her close friends be enough to survive the horrors ahead?I discovered that this book went from so ordinary, to so... extraordinary. And not smoothly, either. The hunger games, for example, went smoothly from ordinary to extraordinary. But this book didn't. I disappointed. The cover was so promising, and so was the blurb. But slowly, it dawned on me that... this book is not good. It was a workable idea that did, admittedly, require changes and adjustments, but was still promising. The main charactor, Willow, was washed out and dull. I liked 2 people. One was the arrogant handsome young warlock who teased Willow mercifully. The other was  a friend who quickly died. Not good.However, it was written by a good, experience writer, with a talent for writing well. I just wish I could say the same for the actual plan, set out, characters and idea! Oh well. You can't have everything.Everwild is a half decent book, worth 3 out of 5 stars. Buy it if it's free, but don't bother if it's not.
