Bellwyn is an unusual witch. She's a bit absent minded, forgets how to do simple spells, and doesn't pay attention to the town gossip. She does have a warrior who loves her. And she's not a bad witch. But she's not necessarily a good witch either. She's just there - mostly...
I've read work by Ms. Pak before and she writes good fantasies. Her muse takes her all kinds of places and she articulates these mind journeys in a clear voice. I bought this book on Amazon and enjoyed reading it. Check it out.
Bellwyn has been "possessed" which means she could be taken to the witch graveyard and bound with a tree but instead of it making her worse, it made her stronger. She's long-lived so you see her in the beginning as a young maiden and then many years later in the more modern world.
The chapters almost like a series of short stories strung together and that might sound strange, but I really liked it. They moved on with the story and kept the pace up. I preferred the beginning of the story because I enjoyed the older simpler times. That's more a reflection on me than the story. The ending is one I can envision if the world keeps going on as it is now. Maybe that's why the earlier part of the tale was more enjoyable for me. I prefer pure fantasy to reality.
If you want to have fun with witches, you need to read this novella. It will amuse and entertain you.
