This Is Book Three, and I Think I'm Done

I very much enjoyed the first two books in this series. It was fascinating to watch Clara as she was introduced to the life of a wildwitch and began to learn the secrets of nature magic. The supporting characters and even the incidental characters were interesting, and the details of Clara's new calling were imaginative and fit together logically. Clara's battle with an unknown and powerful nemesis added drama and suspense and action, so the whole story arc was nicely balanced.

NO SPOILERS, but the story here seems pulled out of nowhere, doesn't flow naturally from the first books, and feels more like garden variety horror rather than nature magic.

Of course, Clara remains an appealing heroine. Cat doesn't have much to do, but is always a pleasure when on the page. As I say, this is a fine choice for readers who want to revisit a favorite series, but for more casual readers, like me, I'm ready to try something new.

(Please note that I received a free advance ecopy of this book without a review requirement, or any influence regarding review content should I choose to post a review. Apart from that I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book.)

Princess Fuzzypants here:
I liked the first book of this series about a young girl who discovers she has magical talents and can communicate with animals. As she learns more about her powers, she is frightened by the death of a sparrow into whose body she has morphed. There is something in the forest that is evil. It is devouring all sources of life it meets and unless she figures out who is behind this wicked force and why it is doing what it is doing, the entire world is at risk.
This is a well written and exciting book for older children to old adults. It transcends the generations.
If you like fantasy that keeps you on your toes to the very end, check it out. I look forward to reading the next book too.
I give it four purrs and two paws up.

A story of magic and real life as they get mixed up. This is a series where I eagerly await the next story as they keep you hooked all the way through the books.
