Reviews for The Legend of Witch Bane

[pscp_janeway · Rating: 5 out of 5 stars]

Overall, an exceptional and thrilling tale about three very young children thrown into a very harsh reality. "The Legend of Witch Bane" is exceptional especially in Kevis Hendrickson's use of a child's fairy tale narrative voice to tell a very dark and hopeful story. The whit, humor, creative solutions and mystical creatures clashed in an effective and interesting way with the bitter conditions and overwhelmings odds that the children of Witch Bane were faced with. I could not get over how rapidly the plot progressed or how fast the many different threads of the plot intertwined and branched out into new aspects of the story. The reader is immediately caputred on the very first page by the plight of a kingdom that has to sacrifice some of it's daughters to a terrible queen. Furthermore, the story takes place in a very intricate fantasy world where our expectations are ever so slightly twisted. The three royal children who embark on a quest to save thier parents and kingdom are far more human and fallible then most young protagonists of modern fantasy books I've encountered. The children are terrified and they make significant mistakes. What's more is that they grow up as the deal with the ordeals. However, this is not the usual happily ever after type of quest, but rather one with real, deep and enduring costs to the children.
