The Nature of Witches

De: Rachel Griffin

Narrado por: Laura Knight Keating

From a stunning new voice in fantasy comes the fierce, romantic story about a world on the brink of destruction, the one witch who holds the power to save it, and the choice that could cost her everything she loves.

For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, but now their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic; the storms, more destructive. All hope lies with Clara, a once-in-a-generation Everwitch whose magic is tied to every season.

In autumn, Clara wants nothing to do with her power. It's wild and volatile, and the price of her magic - losing the ones she loves - is too high, despite the need to control the increasingly dangerous weather.

In winter, the world is on the precipice of disaster. Fires burn, storms rage, and Clara accepts that she's the only one who can make a difference.

In spring, she falls for Sang, the witch training her. As her magic grows, so do her feelings, until she's terrified Sang will be the next one she loses.

In summer, Clara must choose between her power and her happiness, her duty and the people she loves...before she loses Sang, her magic, and thrusts the world into chaos.

Just okay

The story was simple and cute. Nothing really exciting or memorable. I finished it mostly for the narrator, she did a great job!

Fantastic!!

I really enjoyed this book. I started it this morning and could not stop. Enjoyed it. Thru my lunch. Enjoyed it through work because I can listen while I work, and finished it off while working around my home. I would not stop until I got to the end. Fantastic book!

Good Story

The storyline had a lot of potential but the book was overall kinda boring. It was well narrated.

Intriguing Read

It took me a minute to get into this book, but once I was in, I was sucked into the atmosphere of the world that Rachel created. Definitely an interesting concept. Easy read. Lots of character development. If there ends up being a sequel, I would read it!

Entertaining

I loved the story and the performance. I use Audiobooks for multiple reasons and this one made me not want to stop.

the expression in the readers voice

I loved the descriptions of the seasons, colors, and feelings! This is an excellent audiobook. I'm glad I chose to listen what a pleasure!

The Ending Made it Worth It

For most of the book I just kept thinking about whiny the main character was. Yes her situation was unique but she just seemed to wallow in her own self pity for 95% of the book. And that ALMOST made me stop reading because it was irritating. However, she was finally able to pull it together and by the end I was happy for her and glad I stuck it out. The book itself is well written and the story is lovely. The author did a great job!

Just ok

Great for a high schooler who likes magic and a light romance. I don’t like first person present tense so it was a little rough and not a complicated story or any surprises. Predictable.

I mean, it's fine.

I think I just listened to a book for kids, albeit big kids?
The thoughts and ideas could fill, maybe, one chapter of a more mature book. It is a very whitchy, simplistic and cutesy love story. If that is your vibe, go for it.

acceptance

At first the story stars of with Clara being this most powerful witch an ever. teachers and classmates disappointed in her for not doing what she's told. however they don't know that an ever witches magic is far different than what they think. from what they tell her she trys but it only backlash for her causing her to fear her magic.
Clara thinks that when the total solar eclipse happens and stripes her magic she'll finally have so peace from all she cares and love, will be safe from her magic. one teacher tells her to love her magic and because when she trys he ends up dieing. then the I like to think of him as evil teacher comes he pushes her way to much.
and all you want to do is protect Clara from him and it's true. only when she receives books from her now decided teacher does she fully understand. an from the help of her love does Clara fully love her magic and is able to help when they need her most.
