The Magical Fish (English)
There was a time when happiness began to leak out of the world. Everything dried up. No colour, no food, no smiles – only hunger, sadness and quarrels. One old woman decided that something had to be done, and she heard from the wind about a magical fish that lived in a green-green lake. Told by a Gond storyteller and illustrated by a Gond artist, this book has the wisdom of a folktale. The old woman striding across the pages, the dry world, the lush valley and jewel-like lake, and the stunning fish with its beautifully patterned body create a world of magic and beauty on every page.

As news of her death spreads, a collective sigh of relief is felt across the land. The wicked witch will no longer haunt their dreams or plague their thoughts. **Yet, as we bid her farewell, we cannot deny her impact.** For better or worse, she left a mark on the world. The tales of her wickedness will be passed down through generations, a cautionary tale for those who dabble in darkness. The wicked witch serves as a reminder of the consequences that await those who choose the path of evil. **But let us not dwell on her wicked ways, for her death should not be celebrated.** We must find it in our hearts to forgive her sins and let her soul find peace. Though she may have caused pain and suffering, she too was once a child, innocent and full of potential. Somewhere along the way, she lost her way, consumed by darkness and despair. **In her final moments, we must remember the humanity within her, and offer our forgiveness.** Only through forgiveness can we truly rid ourselves of the wickedness that once held us captive. As we lay the wicked witch to rest, let us hope that she finds redemption and a chance at peace in the afterlife. **Farewell, wicked witch, may your soul find solace and may the world be rid of your darkness.** May the tales of your wickedness serve as a reminder to us all, and may we choose the path of light and love over that of darkness and despair. Though your reign of terror may be over, your memory will forever live on, a testament to the power of choice and the consequences that await those who choose evil..

1. Jane - 2/5 stars: I was really excited to read "Ode to the Departed Wicked Witch" as I love fantasy novels, but unfortunately, I was completely disappointed. The story felt shallow and the characters lacked depth. The writing style was also confusing and difficult to follow. Overall, I found the book to be a letdown and would not recommend it to others.
2. Mark - 1/5 stars: "Ode to the Departed Wicked Witch" was a complete waste of time for me. The plot was nonsensical and the pacing was incredibly slow. The writing was overly descriptive and convoluted, making it difficult to stay engaged in the story.

3. Sarah - 2/5 stars: I had high expectations for "Ode to the Departed Wicked Witch" as the title and cover were intriguing. However, the execution fell flat for me. The story lacked originality and felt like a mash-up of other fantasy novels I have read. The dialogue was clunky and the character development shallow. I hoped for a captivating and enchanting read, but sadly, this book did not deliver.
4. Michael - 3/5 stars: While "Ode to the Departed Wicked Witch" didn't capture my attention as much as I had hoped, it had some redeeming qualities. The world-building was interesting, and the concept had potential, but the execution fell short. The pacing was uneven, and the plot twists felt forced. The writing style, although descriptive, sometimes became overwhelming and made it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. Overall, it was an okay read, but not something I would highly recommend.
5. Emily - 2/5 stars: I'm a fan of fantasy novels, but "Ode to the Departed Wicked Witch" failed to impress me. The characters were bland and lacked any real substance, and the storyline felt like a weak attempt at the genre. The ending was predictable and underwhelming, leaving me feeling unsatisfied. While the writing was technically sound, it wasn't enough to salvage the overall dullness of the book. I wouldn't recommend it to fellow readers who are seeking an engaging and immersive fantasy read.
