The take on climate change being tied to magic was an interesting twist. The main character, Clara, was a bit too moody for my taste but I enjoy the story.

I'd have liked this story better if the big events were told at the time of happening, with drama and heartbreak, instead of passively part of Clara's traumatic remembrances. Even events within the timeline of the story are often told in a short summary after the fact. It's frustrating. However, I enjoyed the author's writing style; it's easy to read, and smooth, almost lyrical, and carried me through the narrative.
The title feels misleading since, honestly, the witches aren't actually tuned into nature. They're interested in weather alone and how to affect it. In fact, the entire magical premise of this world, is their power to affect weather. The world is just like our world and the main character, Clara, attends a private school with a large field that is surrounded by a forest, but the trees are rather like a distant set of equipment. I think this might appeal to kids who like sports. The witches train on a field, throwing their power as far as they can, or attempting to act as a team to affect the weather patterns that are out of control. If kids aren't already tuned into the reality of global warming, maybe this story will wake them up? In that sense, it's a fine book. The romance between Clara and Sang is also sweet and it's nice to see a male character who is truly sensitive and more in touch with his emotions than the female MC.

A new view of witches and how they interact with the world combined with a beautiful love story. I really enjoyed the fact that it was a self-discovery book with power, instead of someone lacking power.

I read the entire book in one sitting. From California to New York. I adored it so much! I love reading about witches and romance. The writing was absolutely beautiful. I can’t wait for the book cover to be revealed . I am sure I will love it. Can’t wait to get my hands on a physical copy.

Beautiful, evocative and immersive, this was a treat to read. It’s contemporary fantasy so don’t expect the bells and whistles you get in high fantasy or urban fantasy. However it is extremely connected to the feel of nature and the turning of the seasons and storms. A lovely book.

The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin features an interesting take on witches and their magic. In this world, most witches are tied to one of the four seasons, and their magic is strongest in that season. Clara, the main character, is different though. She is a rare Ever meaning that her magic is tied to all of the seasons, but the magic of Evers is dangerous and often targets those the wilder loves the most with disastrous consequences. The world that the witches inhabit is interesting and unique, since the magic of the witches is tied to seasons the witches are also tied to the health of the planet, which is being pushed to the brink of disaster with overdevelopment and climate change. This is mainly what the witches use their magic for, to help offset the damage to the earth and Clara is training as a rare ever to assist with this as well. My one complaint with this novel, and what ultimately led me to not enjoy it quiet as much as I had hoped when I first started the novel, was that I found the romance between Clara and Sang to be a little to formulaic and unoriginal. That is why I have given this 3 stars, it is a fine book, just not a very exciting one once you get past how the magic works. I think fans of romance who like their love stories with a touch of magic would most enjoy this title.
