Why read it?

1 author picked The Black Witch as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

I think I’ve loved academic settings for fantasy ever since I read Harry Potter, and The Black Witch has one of the best I’ve come across since. Laurie Forrest completely captivated me with her world, her characters, a great underground rebellion, a romance to root for, and a heroine blind to her own immense power. Definitely a must-read on my list!

From Anne's list on YA fantasy with magical heroines.
