ARC Review: Witch Born
The book Witch Born by Nicholas Bowling follows Alyce, the daughter of a witch, who’s been safely hidden away by her mother. When witch hunters come and kill her money, she is forced to run away from her home, with a letter from her mother that she’s supposed to deliver to a man named John Dee. She gets locked away in an insane asylum temporarily and meets a boy named Solomon while making her escape. He takes her to an inn, where she’s taken care of by the inn’s owner. She learns more about practicing witchcraft while searching for John Dee, along with the quest her mother left her. But she soon finds herself dipping into dangerous magic involving the dead.
My favorite character in this book is Alyce. She handles her situation well and she doesn’t give up on searching for her goal. She’s a mentally strong character, and she has some experience with witchcraft. She has a nice personality and is a relatable character. Though she makes some reckless decisions regarding dangerous witchcraft, she handles her other decisions well and recovers quickly from bad situations.I enjoyed reading this book because it has a great and interesting magic system and involves parts of actual history. The entire world, plot, and magic was very interesting. The author did a great job with the setting, too. It was very well written and it was an exciting read.
