The Clockwork Witch (The Clockwork Chronicles Book 1)by Michelle D. Sonnier – Review by Beverly Finnie

The Clockwork Witch by Michelle D. Sonnier
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

Hmm… where to begin. The Clockwork Witch was better than expected. I struggled at the beginning, it started off slow. So listen to me when I say don’t give up if you feel the same way. It’s worth touching it out.
Arabella, the 7th daughter of Minerva who is the 7th daughter was thought to be the one who filled the prophecy that would change the way the witches in this story exist. Unfortunately though Arabella seems to be a dud. No magical powers. She’s a fascinating character to watch develop as the story goes on. At the same time you feel for her. She’s an outcast to her mother by lacking magical ability, an outcast to her father because she’s not a son. A sister that’s looked down upon by all in exception to Rowena. Her life is not easy and it makes her a target.
One night she’s fascinated by machinery and the light she sees flying through it. Come to find out that could lead to her having magic after all. Unfortunately not a type of magic that’s accepted.
It’s all about how she navigates her situation.
Does it help her?
Does it make her more vulnerable?
Again when I say read it, even if you’re like me and think it’s starting slow. Push through it won’t disappoint. I’m now looking forward to book 2, when I wasn’t at 1st. The author turned me around!
