I enjoyed
reading The Winter Witch more than I
expected to. Initially I was hesitant to read it because I thought we would only
be reading from Morgana’s perspective.
It’s not that I don’t enjoy 1st person POV, but in a story
like this it seemed like it would be difficult to really appreciate the growth
of the characters only seeing things through Morgana. However, I really enjoyed the shift in POVs.
It helped give an overall feel of everyone rather than the one-sidedness of
Morgana.
There were some things I figured
out early on in the story (Isolda, the mob) but on a whole the story was
enjoyable. I felt so horrible for Cai and Morgana when the Reverend ran over
Meg. Poor puppy. One thing that I really felt let down by was Morgana’s father.
Much of the book is spent saying over and over how much Morgana adored her
father and stopped speaking when he left. When everything came about regarding
her father, I felt let down. I expected more.
What I think I liked most was the
way Cai and Morgana fell in love with one another. They had a barrier against
them with her being unwilling to speak, but they did find ways to communicate.
Admittedly, I had my moments of wanting to shake them both. In my opinion, Cai
was too blinded to see what was going on with Isolda. Of course, Morgana wasn’t
without her faults either, but in the long run they found each other.
