Reviews for "Witchcraft and healing in Mexico: Exploring the role of witches as healers"
1. Jane - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with "Witch on the Wings in Mexico". The story felt flat and unoriginal, with predictable plot twists and boring characters. I couldn't connect with any of them, and at times it felt like they were just going through the motions. The writing style was also quite lackluster, lacking depth and emotion. Overall, I found it to be a forgettable read that didn't live up to its potential.
2. Mark - 1 star - "Witch on the Wings in Mexico" was a complete letdown for me. The pacing of the story was all over the place, making it hard to follow and invest in the plot. The characters were shallow and one-dimensional, lacking any depth or development. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unrealistic, making it difficult to believe in the story. I had high hopes for this book but unfortunately, it fell short in every aspect. I wouldn't recommend it.
3. Sarah - 2 stars - I found "Witch on the Wings in Mexico" to be quite underwhelming. The world-building was weak, and I struggled to picture the setting in my mind. The magic system was poorly explained, leaving me confused and disconnected from the story. The pacing was slow, and there were numerous unnecessary and repetitive scenes that didn't contribute to the overall plot. The ending also felt rushed and unresolved. Overall, it lacked the excitement and depth I was hoping for in a fantasy novel.
