My Review:This audiobook was so much fun! With lots of sounds, it's a theatrical production for the ears. Come music, whisles, birds chirping and ominous tones at times, meet Kristtorn, Santa's twin sister and the one who eventually became The Christmas Witch.
I have always admired Aubrey Plaza's very strange and creative mind and this book showcases the darker side of the holiday and you know me. I always love the darker things in life. Folklore vibes and fantasy chimes. this holiday children's book really needs an adaptation of some kind. While I would've loved it to be a little darker, I have to remember this is a children's book. I'll have to get the physical copy at some point so I can see the illustrations. If they are as fun for my eyes as the audio was for my ears, I'm sure I will absolutely love it.
Sometimes even if you're naughty AND nice, you don't get any reward. Coal or otherwise. Kristtorn, I do hope to see more of you.

Reviews for "The Endowed Witch's Role in Ancient Rituals and Ceremonies"
1. Alice - 2 stars - I was really excited to read "The endowed witch" based on the high ratings and positive reviews, but unfortunately, it fell flat for me. The plot felt predictable and lacked originality, and the characters were one-dimensional. I couldn't connect with any of them, and their actions and dialogue felt forced. The writing style was also amateurish, with grammar and spelling errors throughout. Overall, it was a disappointing read for me.
2. Mark - 1 star - I absolutely hated "The endowed witch". The storyline was confusing and inconsistent, jumping from one plot point to another without any clear direction. The pacing was all over the place, at times dragging on for too long without any significant development. The characters felt like caricatures, with shallow personalities and unrealistic behaviors. I couldn't bring myself to care about what happened to them. The writing style was also dull and repetitive, making it a struggle to finish the book. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - "The endowed witch" had an interesting concept, but the execution fell short. The world-building was weak and lacked depth, leaving many unanswered questions. The magical system was inconsistent and poorly explained. The protagonist was supposed to be a strong and empowered witch, but her actions and decisions were often contradictory and frustrating. The romantic subplot felt forced and didn't add much to the overall story. The writing was average, but it couldn't compensate for the weaknesses in the plot and characters. It had potential, but it didn't deliver.
