4/5
The River Witch is a very enjoyable fantasy novel set in the
distant future. It is fast paced and an easy read but it was a bit slow to
start and find its story. It has adventure and a story full of mystery which I hope
we discover more about in future books. It has a hint of upcoming romance but
it could also develop into a good friendship and I am looking forward to
finding out.
Tabitha is naïve as she trusts everyone and wants a life
full of adventure and magic like the stories her mother told her. Lysander is
my favourite as he is conflicted and, unlike Tabitha, mysterious as we do not
know much about his past and what his real motives are. I also liked the water sprites
Ani, Corida and Bellat as they were childish, excitable and impulsive.
This book is the start of a 13-book series and I am looking
forward to reading them, especially the next book The Iron Court. I would recommend
The River Witch to those who like the sound of a fantasy novel set in the unique
setting of future Britain.
