Book Review: Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood

Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rewitched by Lucy Jane Wood made me feel...so, so seen in so many ways. I related to Belle more than I ever did to any other character that I've ever read. The way Belle is worried about other people, how she puts other people first before herself, and how she doubts herself...I was about 5 pages in when I realized that Belle is basically me in a book....if I were a witch working at a bookstore and rarely use magic. But this book wrapped me up in a hug as I kept reading, and I also kept cheering for Belle as she trains with Artorious to use her magic so she can become a witch.

I liked the learning aspects of the book because I felt like you were learning along with Belle as she learns how to do many things with her magic, and even when she starts to doubt herself, Arty tells her not to give up. That is why Belle is my favorite character throughout the book-you see her grow and learn her magic, to the point she faces her fears and does things she'd never thought she'd do.

From quitting her job and buying her beloved bookstore, to facing the women who have risen up to power by using dark magic and had killed their brother and blamed the other one. It was so painful to see how family hate can drive people to become power hungry--and I was glad that Belle stood up to them, even saving her best friend during the fight, thus completing the tasks in the grimoire that she was learning from. I was scared that she wasn't going to make it, her and Ariadne, but all in all, I really did enjoy myself, and I am going to read more of Lucy Jane Wood's books because this book was SO GOOD, and I enjoyed myself reading this book.
