Roy Adams reviewed Witch's Sin by Daniel B. Greene
Blend of scifi and magic that struggles a little to find its way
4 stars
Witch's Sin was an unusual (to me) blend of scifi and magic with a very strong scifi start. The main issue for me was that the magic in the story felt forced in and definitely not explained or rationalized well. Since Witch's Sin is intended to be the first in a series it might be that later books help fill in critical missing background information that lessened my enjoyment of the story a little.
The character development for many of the characters was really well done making me care about them and invested in what happened to them.
This is the first book by Daniel B. Greene that I've read since I'm not generally a fantasy fan. (My wife watches his Youtube book reviews which is how I heard about Witch's Sin and the synopsis drew me in. :-) ) It was enjoyable enough that I'll be willing to read …
