The Nature of Witches

The Nature of Witches is a cute and magical story with an interesting concept that ties witches’ powers to the seasons. I really enjoyed the idea and thought the world-building had potential. The romance was sweet, and the overall vibe of the book gave me cozy, whimsical feels. While it didn’t completely blow me away, it was still a charming read that fans of light, seasonal witchy stories will enjoy.

This is my second book by the author, and I enjoyed it a lot. The writing style is just as beautiful as in “Wild is the Witch”. This book is about Clara, a witch that has a very rare ability: She is an Everwitch. Unlike other witches who can control one season with their magic, she has the ability to control it all, live and feel them all. But she sure doesn’t love it all. While Clara does appreciate parts of every season, she hates nothing more than her magic and is steadfast on making sure, she won’t be able to hurt anyone she loves, ever again. But that all starts to change, once a new teacher arrives and has someone in tow, that will challenge everything Clara has ever believed in. Over the next year we follow Clara through the seasons, watching her train, learn more about her magic and herself. This is a story about loss, self discovery and most of all: Love. It’s a beautiful thing to watch a person learn to love herself and everything she is. The characters feel well developed and the story makes sense. There is a certain trope in it, that I don’t usually enjoy a lot, but in this it felt natural and wasn’t dragged out. It was a short aspect of the book, that was used for the right purpose. Overall another book I will add to my beloved witches collection.
