A review by thestoryowl
The Iron Witch by Karen Mahoney

2.0

This story was intriguing, but I had a couple issues with it. The teens in the book were missing authentic teen voices, their conversations seemed stilted and out of place. The alchemy portion of the story was bland and not specific enough to hook me. Mahoney's habit of repeating themes and information became pedantic after a while, and made me feel as if I was being lectured by an impatient teacher instead of being led on a fantastic adventure.
