Vertėja viską išvertė moteriška gimine. Na, taip, moterų raganų yra daugiau nei vyrų, bet vis tiek tai užkliuvo. Pats esu raganius ir pažįstų vyrų raganių, tad norėjosi kažkaip kitokio vertimo. Tabor, Mary B. W. (September 9, 1991). "Salem Journal; 'The Witch City' Dusts Off Its Past". The New York Times . Retrieved July 28, 2022– via NYTimes.com. Kraken is the MVP for sure. I'll give it a 3.5, but rounding down to a 3⭐️ because I'm still a little salty.

The House Witch: Your Complete Guide to Creating a Magical

Good series, and while there are some editing errors, the writing has matured from the first book of the series, so I recommend it for those wanting a light, funny, and mostly innocent read.Wholesome isn't my general vibe, so maybe that's why I'm not all in on this book. I'd read this with a kid, but I wouldn't reread it on my own. There's a really live action Disney quality to it. Most of the characters have one or two characteristics, but they're mostly just props for Fin (the main character) to interact with. For one thing, if Annika and Fin are to continue their romance, they’ll need to sort out the pesky issue of Fin’s being a commoner—before Annika is forced into a political marriage that interferes with her own carefully laid plans. One of the things I really liked about this book is that it does offer examples from across spiritual paths. In the section related to the history of the hearth cauldron the author gives examples from Welsh, Irish and Norse histories, however I felt that adding a bit here related to some other cultures would have made the book a bit more inclusive. I would love to see these types of connections made from other cultures such as South Africa or Ghana. The more we open ourselves up to magic around the world the more we can learn to relate to others outside our personal experiences.

Which is why you should be a little more self-conscious of allowing me to socially see anymore of you than is appropriate" (327). I felt like the anticipation for the war lasted the entire trilogy and only actually happened once I got 60% of the way into the third book....slow burn for the war, fast burn for Fin & Annika with their courtship/relationship status.The House Witch is an alternative spirituality book for those interested in exploring energies of the hearth and the home. It is written in an easy-to-read format, and I would describe this as an overview of some age-old traditions mixed with folklore and a sprinkle of magic. The house is an excellent example of 17th-century New England architecture, although historians are unsure of the date when it was built. Corwin family lore maintains that it was built in 1642, [ citation needed] but some scholars claim that it was built in the 1620s or 1630s and that Roger Williams lived in it in the before he founded Providence Plantations. [4] I loved this finale of the House Witch saga! It was so exciting, but also touching, sad, funny, and full of surprises. There are so many good characters, but I think my favorite is Kraken. Even though we had some of his POV in the series, I REALLY want this story completely from his perspective! The great value of this work lies in its descriptions of what is exclusively women's work, that is, pregnancy, labor, delivery, and the ever present pall of possible death--and how off the rails it all gets when a woman and her children are subjected to a man's whims because he is merely physically stronger, if not the household's sole provider (which is too often the case, rendering marriage for women akin to prostitution). It's sad that mostly only women will read this book, because it should be required reading for all men.

This is where most of my criticism is. I don't understand why the setting was chosen-- the main character constantly butts up against it... but that's never a point of conflict or danger for him? Even though he's of low birth (frequently brought up to his face), it's entirely inconsequential that he ignores the rules and goes unpunished. I honestly don't even understand why these scenes exist in the book at all except to possibly virtue signal? He has entirely modern views/values and is always right and entirely self-righteous about it. He's the smartest person in all subjects, the hardest working, the sweetest, most powerful, etc etc. But there's also often a break in internal consistency (eg he wants to keep his head down and go under the radar, yet he constantly scoffs and rebuffs the polite manners and respect of the hierarchy that is essential to living in a gorram castle. Which is something he specifically chose to do.) Things really start heating up for Fin, his kitchen aides, the royal family, Annika, his mother, and the country of Daxaria, and not just because Fin's fire witch father comes to visit! I still plan on reading the final book when it is released. I just hope there is a titch more action, suspense, and plot. While I was looking forward to a cozy, low-stakes fantasy (witches! baking! castles! talking cats!), the writing here isn't it. It's written to evoke the head-hopping, omnipresent style so common in 90s fantasy, but...this could really have benefitted from tighter editing. While the sentences were *technically* correct, often times it was very hard to tell who was doing what action due to the often obfuscating writing style.

Guys. I think the ghost of that witch is haunting this house!" (D'ya think so? Coming from the guy who, it is exposed, doesn't read books) If atleast 3 characters in here showed some level of atleast emotional maturity, or intelligence, or intellect, or even just basic thought and understanding. The kingdom of Daxaria felt less like a kingdom and more like an unorganized circus.

I really enjoyed the book until about 40-50%, but after the cosy-comfy feelings it originally evoked in me, it let me down by the thin plot being dragged out interminably into precisely nowhere.Saw 'House of the Witch' because the concept was an interesting one and the cover/poster and advertising were cool. Also have a general appreciation for horror. Despite being intrigued, part of me was rather apprehensive watching 'House of the Witch' as well.
