Arianwyn is an endearing and quirky witch who also happens to live in a magical world where she is still somewhat misunderstood. Her optimism in the face of many setbacks, along with the unique creatures and magic system Nicol establishes in The Apprentice Witch had me rooting for Arianwyn from the beginning, and loving the story altogether.

This book has wide appeal— I read it for a high school book group I work with, but my middle school daughter enjoyed it as well!
