Coven at Callington was a pretty quick read. It did seem like a little roller coaster though because it had some points where things dragged on and on or I was just a bit bored. At least until I got to the bantering, because that just always made me smile.

In it, you will meet Thomas and Merryn. Now these two know how to do a good banter but sometimes it just kind of felt forced. Or maybe it's because Thomas would be all playful and such and then with a snap of a finger - he's super serious. It was just a bit weird for me but I just kind of went with it. Then there's Merryn, who was also likable at times but for most of the book I couldn't get invested in her.

My opinion on them definitely changed towards the end of the book. The magic and everything else did make it a bit more interesting. Might dive into the next book of the series if it's on KU but at the moment, I have no plans to do so because I have so many books to dive into that I'm behind on.

I received an ARC from the publisher via NetGalley - thank you! All opinions are my own.

Coven at Callington has a lot of fresh and unique plot ideas. Alas, some of them were a bit too unique: at some point the plot simply lost me. It just wasn't a book for me, I guess.

This was actually really good. I enjoyed the story and the author's take on witches. The characters were well done and relatable.

I don't know what to say. I'm a fantasy lover but this book was a bit too much on the fantastic and it seemed to me it was missing a world building necessary to keep all the elements together.
Sorry but it's not my cup of tea.
Many thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for this ARC
