Thoroughly enjoyed this right from the start. The story follows Ivy who has grown up in foster homes and her journey to find out who she really is. The main characters were likeable and I liked the way the relationships developed. Definitely needs to be a second one. I want to know what happens next.
Thanks to netgalley, publisher and author
I really enjoyed Waking the Witch as a whole. While the dialogue felt strange to me, it wasn’t too bad and I was easily engaged enough by the rest of the story to not mind too much.
What I really loved about this story is its unique spin on King Arthur legends. I am a sucker for the Arthurian legends and any book involving them gets automatic points from me, so I was absolutely thrilled to read how this one played out. Again, it was such a unique spin on the events and I loved the shift in powers from it.
I wish there was a little more to the ending, to wrap things up a bit better, but if there’s going to be a sequel, then it works as an ending.
The romance was also incredibly sweet and I loved the inclusion of butterflies and a unique MC with unique interests. That really stood out to me.
Wow. Just wow. Absolutely fantastic read from start to finish.
Please tell me there is a book 2??
On my top Author list - can literally not fault the writing or the story one bit.
I was hooked from the very first chapter, there was always something there keeping me engaged.
Walking the witch had lots of themes and deeper meanings throughout . Not only are friends and family important but you can also kick ass on your own . That it’s good to not bottle things up, it’s a great way to bond and share with others whilst letting them know they can do the same with you .
The relationship between Ivy and her coworker Tom feels so real and builds beautifully . It never felt rushed or forced, just developed naturally.
Our main character Ivy works at a butterfly house and the life process of a butterfly is hugely important as a metaphor for Ivy which I really enjoyed coming to grips with .
The world building/setting was done so well and definitely made you feel engrossed in that environment.
I was slightly disappointed with the ending but only because I was hoping for more . I didn’t want the story to end where it did !
Overall a brilliant book about a young woman learning her true self with some spooky and fun magic thrown in .
Fast paced fantasy which gave a satisfying twist to the Arthurian cycle. The prose is vivid and full of life. The plot is dripping with Welsh mythology. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
A thoroughly enjoyable novel with a fresh take on witches incorporating Arthurian legend. Burge's writing is excellent and she manages to captivate right until the end. I'd definitely read more in this world.
I adored this book, well written with an enchating storyline and well developed characters. Gripping and full of myth, legend and folklore. It workd really well as a standalone but the greedy bookworm in me would love this as a series as I didn't want it to end.
