On Saturday I sat myself down and opened this book, and then in what felt like minutes, closed it again because I’d got so hooked on it I’d finished it in a single sitting.
I wasn’t sure what to expect from Warding, but I wasn’t in the slightest bit disappointed, the beginning is a good pace for introducing characters and what’s going on, and then just around the half way mark you start involuntarily speed reading it because things gradually get more tense.
I don’t want to say too much because I don’t want to spoil it, but if you know what “warding” is you can guess what the book is about, it’s thoroughly enjoyable and I’d go so far as to say it’s the best book I’ve read containing witchcraft for a long time. I would wager a fair bit of research went into getting it right and it’s energy well spent.
I was really impressed to be honest, it’s a wonderful book with an interesting concept and a brilliant ending. The imagery is fantastic and the writing style is easy to read. It’s not an overly long book so if you’ve got time for a lazy day you’ll easily get through it in a sitting. It’s also long enough however that if you want to savour it you could read so much each day, if you can actually do that because it pulled me in and wouldn’t let go.
Definitely an author I’ll be watching!
