I've been wanting to read this series for a while…and this isn't the first time I've read Witchling. But, it was a loooong time ago and I had pretty much forgotten everything – except that I enjoyed it – so it was almost like reading it again for the first time. It's a world I love to live in; exciting and magical, filled with all sorts of fantasy creatures imaginable! That was my favorite part: Meeting all of the vamps, weres, demons, and even a dragon (the BEST favorite part, by the way). Everything that happened was so convincing that it felt like I was right there, in the story. There was great background setting with a perfect amount of danger and action to keep my interest.
I've got to mention Maggie. She was a gargoyle, but not the kind you'd think: She was furry (tortoiseshell! Squee!) and…cat-like. Go ahead, roll your eyes at me. As soon as she came into the story, I was like, WHERE CAN I GET ONE OF THESE.
Catch more flies with honey…although I'd never quite understood the value of the expression. Mother had used it all the time while we were growing up and even as a child, I'd questioned why anybody would want to catch flies unless you were a goblin and used them for croutons.
I love the cover. There's something about this plot that pulls me in. Great review!
