My Thoughts

I really wanted to like THE IRON WITCH because the premise was so intriguing. It had a lot of potential, but the execution just fell flat for me.

I didn’t feel like the few entries from Donna’s journal really added anything to the story because the third-person POV was limited not omniscient. With or without the journal entries, we didn’t get any of the other characters’ POV. I didn’t really connect with any of the characters. I liked Xan, but I wish I would’ve gotten to know him better. I had hardly any connection with Donna and absolutely none with Navin. I didn’t care whether Donna saved him.

I also didn’t feel like I was given enough information. I felt like important information was just glossed over and not explained. I don’t mind not getting all the answers, but I felt like I didn’t get any answers. At this point, I’m not sure I want to read the rest of the series.
