One sentence review: A lighthearted and fun read filled with humour and fantastical adventure.
Premise: In a magical world, a witch drained of magic navigates several misadventures.
Review: Budget Cuts for the Dark Arts and Crafts is apparently the seventh instalment of the Womby's School for Wayward Witches series. I had never heard of this series until I saw two of them listed on NetGalley. (I was given a copy of the book by NetGalley in exchange for a review.) This series is a gem. The main character is witty and clever and manages to stumble into every misadventure possible. Even without knowledge of the previous books, this was a very enjoyable read. (Although, I would recommend starting at the beginning of the series because the allusions to earlier adventures made them seem very interesting.)
With less than three hundred pages, these are quick reads. I don't want to go into too much detail because I don't want to ruin any surprises. The overview review is this: there is great dialogue, a touch of romance, a ton of trouble, and quick pacing contribute to making this a very fun read.
This series feels like it is in the same vein as the Southern Vampire Mysteries that I just enjoyed so much, which made my book hangover after Sookie's story ended a little less awful.
