About this listen
From a stunning new voice in fantasy comes the fierce, romantic story about a world on the brink of destruction, the one witch who holds the power to save it, and the choice that could cost her everything she loves.
For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, but now their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic; the storms, more destructive. All hope lies with Clara, a once-in-a-generation Everwitch whose 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.
"Perfect for fans of Shea Ernshaw and Taylor Swift's Folklore." (Rosiee Thor, author of Tarnished Are the Stars)
"A bright, fresh read from a glowing new voice, The Nature of Witches is both timely and stirring. Griffin's emotional writing that cuts to the heart will make her a new YA favorite." (Adrienne Young, New York Times best-selling author of Fable)
"The forces of nature and magic blend perfectly in this masterfully told story.... I couldn't love this book more." (Shea Ernshaw, New York Times best-selling author of The Wicked Deep and Winterwood)

Great cover, mediocre story.
Most witches are proficient in magic of one season, but Clara is an ever witch meaning she can channel all four. Ever witches are rare & Clara is scared of her magic due to the deadly consequences she has dealt with & keeps everyone at a distance. But the arrival of Sang may change all that.
It was an interesting take on witchcraft & climate change. Beautiful coming of age story but felt was lacking any sort of tension to really connect & be truely invested. Clara spends most of the time complaining about her magic, while everyone around has faith in her ability & wants to help her. Wanted so much more from this story.

Enjoyable and Short
Pleasant story with quality narration. It was an enjoyable read, though it didn't quite meet my expectations. Still, it's worth picking up if you need a quick and sweet break.

I want to enjoy this but it's hard.
I am part way through but I am struggling to finish. I am really going to do my best to see it through. I'll happily change my review if it redeems itself.
So far, the narrator adds pauses and emphasis in the weirdest places; it's like listening to Christopher Walken. Unless, maybe, the, author, doesn't, know, when and how to, use, commas,?
The story so far is also really, really slow 95% of the time, then skims over things at random. The descriptions can be pretty and immersive, but other times overused and unimaginative.
The second half must be much more interesting for the reviews it has so far.
