It's an interesting story with some potentially intriguing ideas, I just don't know how well it's executed.
You know some books, like (take an obvious one) Harry Potter, can draw you into the story world right from the start and you feel like you're living in a place where muggles, and Hogwarts, and Quidditch are real? Well, this young adult fantasy/dystopian tale doesn't quite do that.
Not to be too much of a downer, it is an interesting read and it's keeping me entertained just fine. I'm just not getting that sense of urgency near the end of the book that gets me thinking, "Oh no! I just have to get the next book in the series! I need to keep this story going!"
Know what I mean?
Maybe it's because the characters narrating the tale are a little too juvenile in their narrations. Could be that I can't relate to them or they just aren't giving me enough detail or emotion or complexity. I dunno.
Could be that the supporting characters aren't overly intriguing or complex either.
It all comes down to details, I suppose. Details equal richness of story.
But everyone is not supposed to agree with my take on Witch and Wizard. If you have some reasons you think would convince me to read on in the series, I'm open!
