Undying Witch Review:
This story is unique, quirky, and very weird, but strangely it works well. Its one of those books that you really don’t know what to expect, and surprises you in each chapter.
What I really liked about Undying Witch was the author’s style of writing and her focus on details. Firstly, the book is pretty short, so you can read it in one sitting. There are a lot of things that happens with Dima (and Medea in Part 2) so you never feel like the story is boring at any point. Moreover, I loved the pop-culture references the author makes to movies like Lady Killers starring James Cagney. She really makes you feel like you are living in the era of the 1920s where the mafia was prominent, and there was an influx of immigrants from ships into the US. Also, I enjoyed Dima’s connection to the Romanov Family. The plot is completely original and will just hold your attention from page one.
However, my only criticism towards the story was the magic element. Even after reading, I was not clear how Dima’s powers worked. At times, it felt like Dima could not control her powers using Pompeii, but at other times it felt like she was invincible. Also, while I enjoyed the strange schemes Dima and Medea concoct, at times I did not understand their reasoning behind these plans. Hence, this was actually one of those rare stories where I enjoyed reading purely on its plot, without having much investment on the characters. Its very hard to like either of the two characters when they are so devious. But, it is so interesting to see their schemes and tactics.
Overall, “The Undying Witch” is certainly a strange but entertaining book to read.
