Book Review: The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater

The Witchwood Knot by Olivia Atwater
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Brittany? Reading a book in two days? Charming.

But all in all, this is my first time reading anything by Olivia Atwater, and I enjoyed this book SO MUCH. I didn't think I would like it the moment I opened the first page. Still, the more I kept reading, the more I escaped into this world and cheered for Winnie as she tried to figure out how to get her Robert back and at the same time, not make deals with faeries and try to undo a knot that has been around the house for a long time. I was freaked out by Robert Murray's father, like freaked out to the point that I shuddered each time he touched her and stroked her hair or did something very creepy to her.

I didn't trust Mr. Quincy for the longest in this book-I kept looking at him sideways as he appeared and then disappeared and tried to do things in the sneakest way and it freaked me out to the point that when he started to help Winnie fight the faeries and help get her charge back was actually pretty cool. His magic and the magic system in this book were very interesting to read about. It was also very cozy, like a warm, gothic hug.

The many faeries and the monsters in the book were also pretty fun to read about as well, because they were fascinating and different, and the faerie tales were also pretty fun to read, like a backstory about what happened to both the characters and how they're going to fight the person who's trying to wake up all the children of Balor so he can take over the world. I wanted to know more about these faeries and also about the one waking up all of the faeries as if he was up for a war or something...

It was really fun and exciting and I enjoyed myself very, very much reading this book. I need to read the rest of the series to see how it all comes ahead.
