Manufactured Witches (edition 2019)

This book was a bit of an odd duck. I really enjoyed reading it, but it really could have used some more flesh in the story. I enjoyed Nat's precept of being a railrider, his connection with Polly and Camille was loads of fun. I just thought there could have been so much more. Maybe it is just me wishing there were. Jacob, Crow and Nan were also fun characters. The home they lived in was a bit too far, but all in all I really enjoyed the book. It was a little predictable and probably better for teen readers, but I have fun with it and I am sure if another book comes along to make this a series, I will be all in to read it. I would recommend this book as a "fun read". I hope there is more to it. ( )

This is an interesting story with a good premise and engaging characters. I enjoyed it for the most part. It kept my interest. Good for a quick easy read if you don't have a lot of time. ( )

Interesting story, and the plot twist I didn’t expect so that’s nice. It’s not greatly written, and there’s typos. But the story itself is intriguing enough to keep going until the end (although I read this in small chunks at a time) ( )

A quick read. I typically prefer realistic fiction, so this was a bit fantastical for my tastes, but a diverting read all the same. ( )

The premise behind Manufactured Witches was interesting, but the plot did not hold my attention. I liked Nat and the other characters, but I felt like they never really did anything. All of them were very flat characters. I just keeping hoping for more, and sadly, this one didn't get there. ( )
