The Nature of Witches

De: Rachel Griffin

Narrado por: Laura Knight Keating

From a stunning new voice in fantasy comes the fierce, romantic story about a world on the brink of destruction, the one witch who holds the power to save it, and the choice that could cost her everything she loves.

For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, but now their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic; the storms, more destructive. All hope lies with Clara, a once-in-a-generation Everwitch whose magic is tied to every season.

In autumn, Clara wants nothing to do with her power. It's wild and volatile, and the price of her magic - losing the ones she loves - is too high, despite the need to control the increasingly dangerous weather.

In winter, the world is on the precipice of disaster. Fires burn, storms rage, and Clara accepts that she's the only one who can make a difference.

In spring, she falls for Sang, the witch training her. As her magic grows, so do her feelings, until she's terrified Sang will be the next one she loses.

In summer, Clara must choose between her power and her happiness, her duty and the people she loves...before she loses Sang, her magic, and thrusts the world into chaos.

The Ending Made it Worth It

For most of the book I just kept thinking about whiny the main character was. Yes her situation was unique but she just seemed to wallow in her own self pity for 95% of the book. And that ALMOST made me stop reading because it was irritating. However, she was finally able to pull it together and by the end I was happy for her and glad I stuck it out. The book itself is well written and the story is lovely. The author did a great job!

the expression in the readers voice

I loved the descriptions of the seasons, colors, and feelings! This is an excellent audiobook. I'm glad I chose to listen what a pleasure!

Entertaining

I loved the story and the performance. I use Audiobooks for multiple reasons and this one made me not want to stop.

Intriguing Read

It took me a minute to get into this book, but once I was in, I was sucked into the atmosphere of the world that Rachel created. Definitely an interesting concept. Easy read. Lots of character development. If there ends up being a sequel, I would read it!

Fantastic!!

I really enjoyed this book. I started it this morning and could not stop. Enjoyed it. Thru my lunch. Enjoyed it through work because I can listen while I work, and finished it off while working around my home. I would not stop until I got to the end. Fantastic book!

Just okay

The story was simple and cute. Nothing really exciting or memorable. I finished it mostly for the narrator, she did a great job!

Good Story

The storyline had a lot of potential but the book was overall kinda boring. It was well narrated.

Absolutely loved it.

Where to start, this book is amazing and moving and I will say that I hope Rachel writes a sequel because there is so much more I want to know about what happens. I will definitely be recommending this book to my friends.

One of the best books of the year

Oh wow… This book is highly emotional and necessary in a time of climate change. Such a beautiful live letter to Earth in the setting of an erratic atmosphere caused by humans. Clara comes as a bright light in the darkness, her character development and journey very inspiring as she learns how to help her lovely world amidst lovely characters and heartbreak. A deeply original story filled with hope.

Amazing book read by an amazing narrator!

The book itself was captivating and heart warming.
Laura Keating did an amazing job of narrating as well. Putting you right into the story with her vocal expression, change of tone and even at times different accents! I will recommend this book and this audible to everyone!
