The Apprentice Witch
The Apprentice Witch | James Nicol
Arianwyn fluffs her witch's assessment. Awarded the dull bronze disc of an apprentice - to the glee of her arch-rival, Gimma - she's sent to protect the remote, dreary town of Lull. But her new life is far from boring. Turns out Gimma is the pompous mayor's favourite niece - and worse, she opens a magical rift in the nearby forest. As Arianwyn struggles with her spells, it's soon clear there's much more than her pride at stake ...

Book 43🎧 3.5⭐️

A mystical YA/MG book about a young witch, Arianwyn, coming into her own power. Her first witching test didn‘t go as planned but that won‘t stop her!

Ever since she was little she has seen a strange glyph… one not taught by her elders. What could it mean?

This one is a bit odd the green cover is book 1 original. The pink cover is book 2 US ARC edition and I think international editions. I believe US print edition for book 2 and three where the yellow cover style.

Scochrane26 I like the green & pink better 5y
LibrarianRyan @Scochrane26 so do I. the yellow reminds me of the old Worst Witch books. Which may have been the attention since the Worst Witch has been a popular Netflix series. 5y

I just could not get into this one! The characters really fell flat for me and I just kept losing interest. So disappointed because I was excited to read this one.

So far I'm enjoying this upper middle-grade fantasy that feels a bit like Sabriel and a bit like 1930s Harry Potter. The #audiobook is also well narrated (not always a given). For some reason I keep picturing the characters and settings in my mind in the styles of Studio Ghibli. Anyone else get the same vibes?

Mehso-so

While I enjoyed the world, and its creatures, the characters in this one felt really stilted and underdeveloped. The relationships between the young women were cliched and one-dimensional. Maybe a good chapter book for young readers as it was relatively harmless.
