![]() ![]() ![]() It may be overkill that Arianwyn both turns out to be an extraordinary witch and is adored and respected by all she meets, but since she is earnest, unfailingly kind, and loyal, readers will likely be pleased that she finally gets her due. The novel has a cozy, old-fashioned feel, despite touches of modern technology, that works with the straightforward fantasy plot (apprentice witch wins over a town and makes good). /rebates/2f97813381186052fApprentice-Witch-1-Nicol-James-13381186092fplp&. A spellbinding read, tapping into important themes of overcoming failure and building self-esteem. Arianwyn is an effective blend of youthful naïveté and admirable maturity: she makes unwise decisions to hide her mistakes, but she also lives alone and faces extraordinary darkness with bold fortitude. It turns out there's an evil supernatural force lurking, and Arianwyn may be the only person able to conquer it, as she's actually such a powerful witch that the machines couldn't measure her abilities. Even so, a witch shortage means that she's still given a town, Lull, where she can settle and help the townsfolk, though at first Arianwyn has more problems than successes as she negotiates magical creatures, suspicious residents, and disdainful peers. Arianwyn is heartbroken when her witch test goes awry and she's stuck at apprentice level for at least six more months.
