Review of Dragonwitch (Tales of Goldstone Wood, #5) by Anne Elisabeth Stengl


I was looking forward to reading this book because I enjoy fantasy novels. When I first started reading it I didn’t care for it. I found myself thinking things like “what just happened” “who is that” “this is weird.” At the same time the book was not boring, so it was easy for me to keep reading. The book has more than one storyline and it was hard to keep track of it at first. About half way through the book it started to make sense and I started to enjoy it. Because the book is based in a make believe world a lot of names and terms are made up, which also added to the difficulty in understanding what was happening in the book. The other complaint I have is that the story would constantly change whose point of view the book was from. Usually a book separates different character’s point of view by chapters. This book would say what one character was thinking and then the next page it was about someone else. It was annoying at first, but I got used to that as well. So, at first I thought I would give the book a 3 because some parts were confusing. By the time I was finished with it I decided to give it a 4. I found that I truly enjoyed the book. It always held my interest. I also enjoyed the fact that it was such a unique storyline and different from anything I have ever read. I liked the characters as well and I would read another book from the series. To anyone who wants to read this book I say don’t stop in the beginning because it does get better.

I received this book for free from Bethany House Publishers for my honest review
