Review: The Return of the Witch

The Return of the Witch by Paula Brackston
My rating: 2 of 5 stars

And they lived happily ever after. Of course. My, it's been a long read.... I started it last year! I was promised an extraordinary tale about witches, but found something else entirely. This time around the characters at least have some understandable motives. Their actions in the first book though are left unexplained. Apparently, they were doing all that nonsense just because, for no particular reason. But as I said, here they have reasons. And there is also a plot, which is quite easy on the brain: you'll know how it ends before starting to read. And there is also a fashionable moralizing last chapter, full of cliches, where the author is trying to explain why this happy ending is so happy and why we all should aspire to something like this.
