This is my first year teaching Green Angel and Green Witch. Green Witch is the sequel to the post-apocalyptic/modern fairy tale that intentionally resembles the terrorist attacks of 9/11. Whereas Green Angel just focused on the protagonist’s (Green) transformation, Green Witch expands the stories of the other characters and ties up loose ends.

I think my students liked Green Witch better than Green Angel. There’s more action, more movement. However, it just felt sloppily written and totally unbelievable (yeah, yeah, yeah I know, it’s magical realism). The whole book leads to a [spoiler redacted] and it’s all over in a matter of paragraphs. The language is totally melodramatic. The ending wasn’t really satisfying.

Meh.
