Review title: Worthy read, looking forward to the sequel
Product review: I really give this one more like a 3.5 stars. I was drawn in by the author's voice, and that is mainly what kept me reading, as it connected me to the main character. Also, the strange use of verb tense. The writing switches back and forth between present tense and past tense--not different tenses for different scenes. Most of the scenes start in present tense and ease into past tense, and some switch back and forth a couple times within a scene. Oddly, I found it worked for me.The plot itself is rather mellow, but I never found it boring. I was a little disappointed that with the title being "Witch Child" it wasn't more...witchy. Mary does have powers, but there is almost no use of them. And the ending felt abrupt (that is what knocked this down from 4 stars to 3.5).That said. Worth the read. And I'm definitely interested in the sequel.
