The reason for my 3.5 is how the story ended. I find her really hilarious when she does that. Whenever she screams, and I anticipate it a lot, I would also let out a loud guffaw. I also find it really funny especially during the first parts when Avery would scream whenever she’s frustrated. I find the writing very fluid and easy to read. Of course, there is a sort of cheesy romance but that didn’t bother me at all. I even got more riveted when a mysterious boy, Tane, enters the story with magic and charms of his own. I am very curious indeed about what Avery could do in order to cheat her own demise. Even though there are no scary, evil villains, I find the main conflict very much disturbing and affecting. All she had was her ability to interpret dreams. She could not summon spells and couldn’t seem to manifest any ability that would make her worthy of being the next Roe Witch. Thus, grandma Roe is revered and feared by the villagers and Avery has always believed and dreamed of a life exactly like that of her grandma’s but a twist in the plot brings her quite far from her lifelong dream. The story opens with our heroine’s narrative of her recollection of her grandmother teaching her powerful witch stuff so I instantly find myself captivated and intrigued.Īvery Roe is the granddaughter of “The Witch”, also called “The Roe Witch”, a woman whose power is always sought by whalers who need luck while they hunt or an avenging wife who wants her husband cursed. Salt and Storm is a 19th century fantasy standalone set in a small town along Mississippi.
