Aside from that she was a strong, brave main character. A little more inner dialogue to show how she reached a decision would have been nice. I was given little to no clues on what Senna was deciding to do so I was surprised more than once. There were a few scenes where she would come to decisions out of thin air. The only thing that truly bugged me about Senna was her thought process. She kept on doing what needed to be done in order to protect everyone. She knew her mother, the other witches, and the fate of the world was in her hands but she never let that slow her down. I loved how she was so brave throughout every danger and obstacle she faced. I thoroughly enjoyed all of the well written descriptions of the things Senna was seeing and the places she was going! Large kingdoms with soldiers, merchants, and stocks where thieves would spend their nights locked up were all small but important qualities that brought this story to life for me. Witch Song doesn’t necessarily take place in this time period but a lot of the qualities reminded me of it. I don’t care how dirty and grimy things may have been in the medieval days but I have always been fascinated with it. The world that was created in Witch Song is like one that I have always wanted to live in. The world building was tremendous, the characters were unique, and Amber’s take on witches was magical for lack of a better word. I even want to meet Pogg, a frog person, regardless of how freaky frogs are. I want to see the plants of the world react to their songs. I wish I could hear the intoxicating voices of the witches. It is stories like Witch Song that make me wish that I was a fairy tale addict back in the day! This story combines so many wonderful elements to create a world that you want to live in just so you can see these things first hand. I was more of the American Girl and Babysitters Club fan-girl I loved all those snarky, quick-witted girls. I was never one to be extremely interested in them but I enjoyed them all the same. (Summary, courtesy of )Īs a little girl, I liked fairy tales.

Because if Brusenna doesn’t, there won’t be anything left to save. Somehow, Brusenna has to succeed where every other Witch has failed. Her guardian has sworn to protect her, but even he can’t stop the Dark Witch. As the echo of their songs fades, the traitor grows stronger. All the Witches are gone, taken captive by a traitor. Once, Witch Song controlled everything from the winds to the shifting of the seasons-but not anymore.
