Review

Brayden dreams about a beautiful girl for thirty days, until that girl appears and meets him. But, soon, he discovers that she's a High Witch, so she needs to go through 'The Test', a test where she has to kill the person she loves. But Brayden gets too attached to Ariel, the High Witch, and he realizes he is the person who has to be killed in order for Ariel to survive. But Ariel knows that love always win. And Brayden will find out too.

My rating: 4/5

My opinion

'High Witch' was a very intriguing and unique novel. My favourite character is Brayden, because he was smart and helpful, but Ariel was the protagonist and she managed to save Brayden and herself in a dangerous battle between good and evil. Ariel was strong and she learned quickly how to use her power. properly. The story was original, but I had two major problems with it; first, the insta-love. Brayden and Ariel's relationship seemed rushed and totally predictable. And than brings me to my second problem, the fact that the entire book was predictable. I knew from the very begining what was going to happen and I would have preffered a different ending, maybe a sad one. But I hope that the second book is better and I'm looking forward to reading it. I recommend this book, it was a short and fun read!

And look at that beautiful cover!

Recenzie

Brayden a avut vise despre o fata frumoasa timp de treizeci de zile, pana ca acea fata sa apara si sa-l intalneasca. Insa, in curand acesta descopera ca este o 'High Witch', asa ca trebuie sa treaca printr-un test in care ea este nevoita sa-l omoare pe omul la care tine. Insa Brayden se atasaza prea mult de Ariel, vrajitoarea, si realizeaza ca el este cel care trebuie sa fie omorat pentru ca Ariel sa supravietuiasca. Insa Ariel stie ca iubirea castiga mereu. Si Brayden va afla si el acest lucru.

Nota mea: 4/5

Parerea mea

'High Witch' a fost o carte foarte intriganta si unica. Personajul meu preferat e Brayden, pentru ca a fost destept si a ajutat-o pe vrajitoare, insa Ariel a fost protagonista si a reusit sa-i salveze pe Brayden si pe ea intr-o batalie periculosa dintre bine si rau. Ariel a fost puternica si a invatat repede cum sa-si foloseasca puterea cum trebuie. Povestea a fost originala, insa am avut doua mari probleme; in primul rand, insta-love. Relatia dintre Brayden si Ariel a parut grabita si total previzibila. Am stiu chiar de la inceput ce urmeaza sa se intample si as fi preferat un sfarsit diferit, boate unul trist. Insa sper ca a doua carte este mai buna si abia astept sa o citesc. Recomand aceasta carte, este o lectura scurta si distractiva!
