The Last Witch

by J.C. Hanna

Ireland: the 11th Century. As the pagan world of witches and wise-men falls to the sword of Christianity, Branna, the daughter of a powerful witch, tries to keep out of the way of the new religion. The new faith is the respectable face of evil forces that are just as powerful as the gods and goddesses of Branna’s religion. A near fatal encounter with a demon from the new religion changes Branna’s life forever. The shy young witch must transform into a powerful warrior as she tries to save her people. She must raise an army, of men and mythical creatures, from across the ages, to fight in a battle that will determine the destiny of all mankind.

Filled as it is with creatures from Irish folklore, and the unseen, Narnia-like land in which they dwell, The Last Witch is brimming with magical trills on every page.

Had promise. The premise and setting sparked my interest, but the slow, drawn-out writing failed to keep it. If the writing wasn't so bogged down with long, depressing sentences, it could have been more fun. Still, for the hard-core sords and sorcery fans out there, it's worth a look.
