Aimless Witch

De: Shannon Mayer

Narrado por: Khristine Hvam

From the world of Rylee Adamson and the Elemental series comes a heroine with nothing to lose and everything to prove....

“My name is Pamela, and I am a witch who has no equal.”

Or so I thought.

It has been three years since the Destroyer sundered our world. The land is longer whole, but broken into pieces, most technology gone, and the continents shattered into an unrecognizable place.

New monsters have risen from the depths, adding danger on top of danger. Through it all, the humans fight to survive as they compete not only with the supernaturals for food and resources, but their own kind as well.

And me? The caravans of humans I pass - they look to me to save them.

Only I am not the witch I once was. Bound by those who fear my power and my bloodline, I’m lucky if I can light a match with my magic, never mind protect anyone but myself.

Now the darkness in me rises, offering me all that I want. Freedom from the chains I wear and the power to make everything right. But, if I embrace the darkness, I will face a cost I could never have imagined....

Enjoy it

To finally get to know a little about Pamela is freaking great. Other then me crying at times. It was an awesome book.

Her powers

Her becoming to understand her powers and how they relate to her mother. Understanding her place in the caravan.

Very likable characters and very gripping!

It took a bit of time to get into this story. At first I didn’t connect with the MC Pamala and her familiar Oka. I think I was wanting a little more background on the sundering and why Pamela’s powers were bound. But after a few chapters I found myself devouring the story and loving her strength and ability to adapt and overcome without her magic. I am so glad I purchased this book I loved it and will be starting the next one tomorrow. The narrator is one of my favorites and she really brought the story to life. I highly suggest this book.

Slow but good IF you read the pervious series

Because I had already read All the Rylee series I was able to know what was being referred to throughout this book. I Really recommend the Rylee series. The problem is that this is not entirely a stand alone book and will be problematic for new readers.

Amazing, but feels like it starts in the middle

It’s a little odd for the intro to say “Untitled”, but not terribly off-putting. It feels like it’s starting in the middle of a story and although the backstory is hinted at, it still feels awkward. Not my favorite start to a book. I have read most of the Rylee and Lark books and I know a bit about the backstory because of that, but even with that knowledge I had to check to see if somehow the recording had jumped ahead or something. It just didn’t feel like a smooth start of a new series.
I had to stop and go through the Elemental series. It makes a huge difference and makes this book make a lot more sense. It picks up after Destroyer and is a much smoother story that way.
The narrator does a great job with all of the voices, but I love the voice for Oka the most. Even after reading several of Shannon Mayer’s books, she still continues to surprise me. The story doesn’t feel like a re-hashed version of her other books. Everything is still fresh and new. Her world-building is fantastic! I really enjoy the progression of Pam’s story and how she deals with her struggles. She feels real and relatable. She doesn’t feel like a natural-born hero type character that can’t be beaten. She feels like a typical young-ish, possibly teenage girl, with general life struggles. There just happens to be magic thrown in. Very well-written story overall.
Almost at the end of the book and I’m choking up, then heart swelling with joy, and finally full body shivers and feelings of apprehension. Shannon does an amazing job of drawing out all kinds of feelings from her readers, keeping us hooked and wanting more. I can’t wait to start the next book!
