Meg Shaffer first cast her spell on me with The Wishing Game! I love her beautiful writing, her well thought-out and magical plots. I also loved The Lost Story and highly recommend both of those books. While I didn’t quite love The Book Witch as much as I enjoyed the previous two books which I have read by Meg Shaffer, I did enjoyed being transported between the pages of a book, where the characters live, and to see things from the point of view of a book witch.
Rainy March is a book witch who defends books from both real and imaginary forces. She takes her job seriously but does find time for a little romance in her life. Where her grandfather disappears, she relies upon her love interest, the Duke!
This was a very unique and original book which has dazzled many and I do hope that more find this book to be magical. While I enjoyed this book and its world building, I wasn’t quite as blown away by it as I had hoped. I did enjoy the twist and reveal at the end of the book. I feel that I should have seen this coming, but I didn’t.
Overall, an enjoyable read which had me wanting more but still found enjoyable with fantastic world building.
Thank you to Ballantine Books and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
