Witch Wars #4

Witch Glitch

Rate this book
It's a new era for the Witch Wars witches. Felicity Bat is no longer evil, Tiga has at last found her mum and there's the whole of Silver City to explore. But it's not long before the witches find themselves at the centre of another adventure. When a magical book called The Karens offers to grant Fran the Fabulous Fairy's dearest wish, it seems too good to be true. And it is. Before you can say 'frogknuckles', Tiga and the gang are in a race against time - can they save Fran before she explodes in a large ball of glittery dust?

Releitura em janeiro de 2021!!

Meu deus li esse livro pela primeira vez em agosto?? Parece que foi ontem!!

Comprei os outros livros da coleção e li todos!! Já tinha amado esse livro quando li a primeira vez mesmo sem ter lido os outros da coleção, mas ler na ordem certinha e ver o desenvolvimento da amizade das personagens é aMORZINHO DEMAIS!!!

ps: felicity morcego é CTZ minha personagem favorita e estou shippando DEMAIS ela com a peggy depois de ler tudo!!!!!

--------------------------------

Gostei demais dessa leitura!! Sai de uma leitura bem pesada e peguei esse livro por saber que era infantil e levinho.

Esse é o livro 4 da série Puxa, que bruxa. Não li nenhum dos outros mas mesmo assim não dificultou minha leitura e entendimento da história. AS PERSONAGENS SÃO ENCANTADORAS!! Fiquei com muita vontade de ler os outros!!

(Comprei ele numa dessas feirinhas de livros que tem em shoppings a um tempo, comprei simplesmente por ter achado a capa lindinha demais. Todo o meu envolvimento com esse livro foi quentinho no coração demais, desde a compra num dia divertido no shopping até a leitura sentada no sofá, super confortavel segurando o livro com uma mão só por ser levinho e totalmente imersa na história)

Li em um dia porque 1. o livro é super levinho e fácil de segurar; 2. tem algumas ilustrações (muito fofas por sinal) que fazem você conseguir imaginar perfeitamente as personagens, as paisagens, as situações; 3. É DIVERTIDINHO DEMAIS com várias situações curiosas e muito criativas!!

Fiquei com quentinho no coração lembrando de livros que eu lia na infancia. Adorei!!

The last book in this series! Yes, I am guessing that considering everything is now truly completed. There is a railway, some stuff that was bad got vanquished, things that were a bit unsolved are now solved.

However, I do have to say I didn't like it as much as I did the other books. This mostly has to do with Lucy, a new addition to our cast, who thankfully wasn't around much during the later parts which really improved the book. Sorry, I don't mind a fan, but seriously, that girl should just have gotten the hint. Stalking someone, clinging to them like this, being a total toad about stuff? Not cool, not nice, not polite. She even freaking climbed into Tiga's room at NIGHT. Whut? This is not how you treat your biggest hero. If you are a fan you should know how to act. Bleh. :|

The next up is Fran. I already am a bit of a hater for Fran. But in this one she takes the spotlight even more and I just wanted to strangle the fairy. She is such an obnoxious, annoying, doesn't seem to care about anyone, bitch. Sorry. But really, she just annoys me so much. And everyone just lets Fran walk over them, glittering them as she goes. She is easily jealous, needs the spotlight or people will get hurt, and much much more.

Now for the good parts!

Seeing Tiga again! Tiga is still my favourite character and I was so happy for her with what happened in the previous book (her finding her mom), and it was a lot of fun to see the scenes with her mother. She deserves some well-spent time with her mom after years of not having one.
I did feel sorry for her that she couldn't see Peggy or Fluffanora that much due to her living far away from them.
Luckily the railway brings a change in that, and I was kind of looking forward to seeing her go to her friends. Instead she goes to her friends and then the real adventure starts with Jelly castles and wish witches.
Like the other books she is brave, she is fun, she is smart, but she is also still so much Tiga (in other words, still not always good with spells, a bit clumsy). I loved that even though she didn't like Fran that much all the time she went to save her. Even though she had no plan. We saw this Tiga in the other books as well. She would always try her best, helping her friends even though she didn't know all the spells, or all the things about the country.

The railway was a really nice touch. I am still kind of amazed that witches need such a magical railway to get to stuff. Flying apparently takes too long, and they apparently can't teleport or poof themselves to a place. :P
I also loved the fact that the railway went into the badlands, and that there was a carriage that would just drop off (you don't want to be in that one, unless of course you want to fall off a railway with a carriage).

Felicity Bat. Yes, I didn't like her much in the beginning, but she is such a terrific character now! Mind-reading, helping out (albeit a bit grumpy), and much more. She is such an asset now.

The wish witches and their secrets? I loved it! Especially the jelly castle (which I would so eat, why melt it when you can eat it). The witches were a bit mean, but I guess when you are stuck in a jelly castle for reasons one can get a bit mean. I laughed that they had a little pot for when wishes were fulfilled and one of them would get something of their hearts desire.

The newspapers (and interviews) they were a great addition, they showed what happened in the country, but also gave some insight in some stuff. I already loved those little parts in the other books. I had a big laugh at the umbrella part. Yeah, waving that around might not be a good idea. :P

The illustrations that are abundantly everywhere were still wonderful and fun, and very glittery.

I can't wait for Sibeal Pounder's new book/series that is coming soon (evidenced by the ending page).

I would highly recommend this series to everyone!

Liked reading this story. The Karen's was annoying with saying darling and wasn't expecting the Karen's to be toad's. Lucy tatty to start of with felt like she was stalking Tiga. Finding out other magic Felicity Bat can do is good. Didn't see much of Aggie Hoof in this book

Loved sharing this next Witch Wars Book with Henry.

He said it was funniest book he has ever read! (Might have had something to do with Fran - he’s her number one fan ;) )

Looking forward to the next one...

Another fantastic read about the witches from Witch Wars. This adventure introduces us to 'The Karens' who encourage wishes in any way they can. This story had lots of twists and turns and keep me guessing until the very end. Such clever writing.

A good book but still very hard to understand though. I had a hard time understanding what the characters were doing. Still a book full of adventure to read.

O carte foarte hazlie pentru categoria de vârstă pentru care e scrisă. Chiar și eu m-am amuzat la diverse idei sau denumiri. Mi se pare simpatică seria aceasta cu vrăjitoare.

The most amazing of them yet as it shows the simplicity, creativeness and amazing enchantment of not just the witches within the world but the witching world itself. See more of the map as the characters travel more than they ever have before, partially because Peggy has finally got the train station up and going again. An amazing story with many a hidden subclaus built into all your wishes.
Meet the problems head on. I love how the story has changed and grown and how Tiga and her friends have become more confident in themselves as the series goes on.
