Review of Witched Gone Wicked, by Sarina Dorie
Funny, exciting, and enchanting
After teasing us with the possible existence of the mysterious unworldly institution in the first two books, we finally get to Womby’s Reform School for Wayward Witches!
Clarissa is a teacher, but because of her inexperience in magic, ignorance of her family’s legacy, and diminutive size, she’s not much different than the students.
While teaching, she tries to solve the mystery of her birth-mother’s legend, her own powers, and what became of her long-lost love. Along the way, there are plenty of high jinks where the only talent our klutzy heroine seems to have is making enemies. She’s absolutely boy-crazy, but any intimacy makes her untamed powers go completely bonkers.
There are lots of shocking surprises, references to geek culture, and a satirical play on many of the familiar tropes, which makes it seem almost like a parody. This book is a joy to read, even though I am far from the target audience. It does the most important thing, which is to make me want to live in this world.
I am truly and unironically a Sarina Dorie fan.
