Sisterly Witchy Read
Tis the season for cozy reads with witches and magical atmospheres! Crutcher's new release, The Orphan Witch, is a novel based on hope, family, sacrifice and love.The characters are complex with secrets that push the plot into unique twists and turns. Persephone is an orphan cursed with what she perceives as a look that can quite literally kill if she isn't careful. Between her past and the curse giving her an inability to make deeper connections, she craves what many take for granted in life. Her character is almost heartbreaking at times. There is a deep bond of sisters underlying the story that I really enjoyed. Even when things are at their worst it was heartfelt to watch the different witches and their dynamics create and break bonds. A dose of romantic interest sparks the pages and while it was a low simmer on the steam index, I did feel it toed the line of insta-love. However, based on Persephone's past it is pretty understandable. Plus, Dorian isn't easy to turn away from for us bookish folks. I did notice I wasn't connecting to the characters as much as I would've liked though and I couldn't pinpoint why.The magical elements are a mixture of classic witchy spells intermingled with parallel world travel and elemental powers. I enjoyed how the combination comes together to create the climax towards the end. The story is a slow-build and there is a pretty large informational load in the beginning. Alternating POVs and a third person narrative lead the reader through Persephone's finding of family and her powers. I found this novel to be more about family and bonds instead of action and steam. This takes readers on a journey through connection with a sprinkle of drama and romance here and there. I could totally see this being a series on the Lifetime channel for October, at least that is how it was playing out in my head as I read.Overall, The Orphan Witch is a cozy, witchy novel. Though I prefer more paranormal fantasy romances with action, I believe readers who enjoy the more slower paced familial novels will devour this beautifully written story. Thank you SMPRomance and St. Martins Griffin for the gifted digital copy in exchange for an honest review. Audio available by Macmillan Audio is narrated by Saskia Maarleveld. All thoughts are my own.
