I enjoyed Blood Witch even more than the previous two books in the Sweep series. Most of the characters and the storyline are developing nicely. I especially like that these books can be started and finished within a few hours. They’ve been a comfortable and easy distraction. ( ) I try to express only my most honest opinion in a spoiler-free way. If you feel anything in my review is a spoiler and is not already hidden in spoiler brackets please let me know. Thank you. This book has me questioning everything I thought I've known from the first two books. This is great in a way as it makes for a nice story, but I hate questioning everything. lol Why does everyone in this book feel bad for Bree? She is the worst best friend I've found in a book in a while and I can't help but feel that the author is eventually going to let Bree off the hook and everybody will be together again and blah blah blah. It's irritating to me. There isn't much more to add without spoiling anything. So, for now, I'm excited to have made progress and this series and can't wait till I get around to the next book. How I choose my rating: 1* Hated it. I had to force myself to finish it. 2** Didn't like it. I didn't hate it but not sure why I finished it other than for some closure. 3*** I liked it. I had some issues with it, but as a whole it was good. I probably won't reread ever, but there is a chance I might finish the series. (If part of one) But if not it's not a huge loss. 4**** I really liked this book. Maybe not a work of genius, but highly entertaining. I might reread this, and I will finish the series. (If part of one) I would recommend to those I know hold interest in this book's content. 5***** I loved this book. I found little to no issues with it at all. I will be rereading this and probably more than once. I will finish the series and reread it multiple times. (If part of one) I will recommend this book to EVERYONE!!!! This series is a guilty pleasure, I'm coming to realize. There's a whole bunch of cliff-hanging at the end of each book, and a hell of a lot of foreshadowing. (Is Cal good? Is he evil? Dun dun dun... Tune in next time for....) And the heroine does such stupid things sometimes I just want to slap her. But, she is only 16 (turns 17 in this book), so maybe that's just par for the course. I recommend these books if you want a quick escape from reality, but don't expect too much. I've been fortunate to get them on audio from the public library, so I've spent neither time nor money on them. (I listen in the car during my commute, or on road trips, so they don't take time away from other books I'm reading.) The first 2-3 books in this series are addictive, a fresh "modern-teen" POV in the tired genre of witches/kids with supernatural powers finding themselves (and the wonder of Wicca) among families/communities who "don't get it". After #3, it goes downhill. There is no psychological development of the main characters (and the secondary characters are quite shallowly described and hard to distinguish throughout the series; even the more promising and believable ones, BFFs Bree & Robbie are essentially dropped from the books by #4) a lot of the narrative suspenseful points are all "tell" and no "show", the conclusions are hurried and tied up nicely--except for a minimum of predictable suspense that the publisher made you have to draw people through the series. Also, each book is so short, (it's like a single chapter of a Harry Potter) that the narrative arc is predictable and hasty, and makes one wonder if these were paid by the book, or that the series was extended way beyond what should have been its natural life span by the publisher, or what. It's no Harry Potter, that's for sure. Apart from the above flaws, here's no humor (unless you count Morgan's drinking Diet Coke all the time, which gets tired really fast) and no writing good enough to be enjoyed by adults as well (a sure sign of a good children's book). Also there's way too much touchy-feely Wicca rituals and pseudo Gaelic chanting, which is not well enough written to be convincing and also gets tiresome. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse
