The illustrations were so great to go along with the story, and I listened to the audiobook as I read along with the physical book which only added to my adventure - David Tennant is a perfect narrator! (Though there were many times I jumped out of my skin when a loud BANG happened)Ĭharacters were fun and easy to follow, and I LOVED the world. I was so engrossed in this wonderful story. Long ago, Witches existed, and they are the most evil and most terrifying beings to ever walk the Earth. Sizzling with magic and wonder in a brilliant world that has completely sucked me in! I cannot wait to read more from this series.Ī boy wizard who can't seem to find his magic and a warrior princess who has a knack for adventure cross paths in a world where wizards and warriors are mortal enemies. If there are any more books in this series, I’ll be happily reading them:) Witches were supposedly put on the extinct list yet there are signs they are back and up to no good.įeathers. Witches have feathers and are mostly invisible until the instant they’re attacking you. Witches are the one thing both sides can agree on.

It’s a nice unintentional allegory for the current state of United States politics. Each side has polarized so both are wrong. Did I mention adorable? There are two sides in the book: Wizards and Warriors. I find my life is endlessly enriched by all sorts of books.īack to this book. She didn’t write it for children or adults. Madeleine L’Engle said that she simply wrote A WRINKLE IN TIME. I find that I love great books no matter their intended audience. It’s a children’s book so of course it’s a quick read for an adult. Illustrations that have a sarcastic wit to them which I always love. I bet the sequel is fun too.Īdorable book. As an aspiring author, what I'll take away here is that it's really hard to balance humor with worldbuilding.īut all that said, this book is a fun and lighthearted adventure if you can roll with the journey and not worry much about the details. That could be personal: I don't like when children's literature seems to treat children as less intelligent readers or less in need of a fully worlded experience. I love a good funny book, but I found the humor here to generally undermine everything else, mostly because the narrator came off as kind of a jerk? Somehow, the little jokes and pokes at the characters made the world feel less fleshed out and pointed out the big gaps to me. Whatever's going on with the evil Witches is pretty compelling. There are young sprites called hairy fairies that are pretty funny. And while I found the main two characters to be pretty bland and unlikable, the supporting characters were way more imaginative. The form of illustrations mixed with text worked mostly great (it's rad that the author drew and wrote everything-total creative control like that is a real dream). Wacky MG fantasy focused on humor and some twists. Cressida lives in Hammersmith with her husband and three children.Ħ.

Webber's and Howard's response is: Just don't make a move involving either of us.
