This one off magical realism book brings light to our current climate crisis in a way that made me sad for the future of our planet.
Clara struggles with the strength of her magic and her inability to control it. She has been plagued by traumatic events where her magic has led to deaths. As the first Everwitch in centuries, she could be the salvation the Earth is looking for but she struggles with her training and emotions.
Along comes Sang, a specialist in botany, and Clara’s potential salvation with calming qualities and soft rapport.
Clara has to learn how to harness and use the full extent of her power to be able to hopefully help off-season witches from dying from depletion.
Throughout the book, Clara learns more and more about herself and her magic. Ultimately deciding something that changes the course of training for any Everwitch that comes after her.
I couldn’t believe how fast I went through this book and how much I didn’t want to put it down. The characters are emotionally complex and the magic in the book speaks deeply to me as a Pagan.
