1. Jane - 2 stars
I had high expectations for "Witch located in the north" but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The plot was predictable and lacked originality. The characters were one-dimensional and difficult to connect with. The writing style also left much to be desired, with cliché dialogue and repetitive descriptions. Overall, I was disappointed with this book and would not recommend it to others.
2. Mike - 1 star
I found "Witch located in the north" to be incredibly boring and poorly written. The pacing was incredibly slow, and the story failed to hold my interest. The main character was unlikable and lacked growth throughout the book. The world-building was weak, with little explanation or depth. I felt like I was just going through the motions while reading this and was relieved when it finally ended. Definitely not a book I would recommend.
