Reviews for "Witchcraft 101: Lessons from Esmeralda, the Worst Witch"
1. Sarah - 2 stars
I was really disappointed with "Esmeralda the Worst Witch". The storyline felt disjointed and lacked depth. The characters were underdeveloped, and I had a hard time connecting with any of them. The writing style was also quite boring, with awkward dialogue and too much unnecessary description. Overall, it felt like a poorly executed attempt at a magical adventure. I don't think I'll be continuing with this series.
2. Mark - 1 star
"Esmeralda the Worst Witch" was a complete letdown for me. The plot was predictable, and the magic system felt inconsistent. The main character, Esmeralda, lacked any real growth or development, making her uninteresting to follow. The pacing was slow, and I found myself struggling to stay engaged throughout the book. Additionally, the humor attempted was forced and fell flat. I was hoping for a captivating witchy tale, but unfortunately, this was not it.
3. Emily - 2 stars
I had high hopes for "Esmeralda the Worst Witch," but it ultimately fell short. The writing style was overly simplistic, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. The world-building felt shallow, and I never got a sense of the magical society that the book was set in. The plot was also lacking in originality and failed to hold my attention. Overall, it was a forgettable read that didn't leave a lasting impression. I don't think I'll be recommending this book to others.
