A huge thank you to Oftomes Publishing for sending me this book as an eARC in exchange for an honest review!
I went into this book with high expectations because I've heard nothing but great things about it and I've read three books by Gabriella Lepore in the past and I adored them all! - Let me just say, this book didn't disappoint me!
I think this was the first book I've read by her which started differently; the main character already knowing she's a witch / that witches do exist. I really enjoyed this aspect and found it to be refreshing because this way the focus could be on slightly different things such as Mia's struggle with what kind of witch she is.
Already the first chapter is mysterious because you just want to know what is going on and what Mia's and Dino's magical powers are! It is still great that the reader gets to discover this whole new world together with the siblings Mia and Dino since they both have just discovered they are witches.
Although I found the plot to be a bit slow and predictable in the beginning, for example with whom Mia would have a romance, the pace soon picked up and I was completely sucked into the story!
This book is told through two perspectives: The first being through Mia's eyes and the other one through her brother Dino. I really liked those two perspectives because it kind of gives you an overview of the characters and you can comprehend their individual actions much better, for example I disliked Dino less when I've read about his thoughts and why he was acting the way he did.
Once again I was fascinated by the author's writing style because it's just so amazing and captivating that I can envision everything she describes clearly & detailed in my head! I just know I can trust Gabriella Lepore whenever I want to read a book with witches because she is my queen of witch books! -
All in all, The Witches of the Glass Castle is a phenomenal book filled with witches, magic, romance and much more that will have you on an emotional roller coaster ride while reading!
