Description
"For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, their power from the sun peaking in the season of their birth. But now their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic. All hope lies with Clara, an Everwitch whose rare magic is tied to every season.
In Autumn, Clara wants nothing to do with her power. It’s wild and volatile, and the price of her magic—losing the ones she loves—is too high, despite the need to control the increasingly dangerous weather.
In Winter, the world is on the precipice of disaster. Fires burn, storms rage, and Clara accepts that she’s the only one who can make a difference.
In Spring, she falls for Sang, the witch training her. As her magic grows, so do her feelings, until she’s terrified Sang will be the next one she loses.
In Summer, Clara must choose between her power and her happiness, her duty and the people she loves…before she loses Sang, her magic, and thrusts the world into chaos."

Excited to read this book and it was as described and pictured. Only complaint is it was poorly packaged and all three of my books I ordered came banged up.

The whole book reminds me of Pixie Hollow, instead of fairies the book is about witches. I absolutely love the richness the book depicts each season.
Excellent Debut

I think my favorite part of this book would have to be the unique magic system. I’ve always loved a good witchy book but this one will definitely always rank high up on the list for me. Clara is a character that you can’t help but feel so much empathy towards after everything she’s been through and how she feels about her powers. It keeps you rooting for her to find her confidence and happiness through the whole book. I particularly liked the authors inclusion of climate change as a major part of the story without it being the main objective of what needed to be fixed. This was solely a story about Clara fully connecting with her magic and no longer being afraid of it. Bonus points to the love interest in the book being a botanist. The communication with flowers and plants was so sweet even though the reasoning was sad. Thank you to the publisher for giving me a chance to read this early!
