The Witches of Dark Root (Daughters of Dark Root #1) by April Aasheim → Start Date: November 28, 2014

[Emma]

Join Jess and myself reading this exciting looking book.

[Emma]

Just finished the prologue, nice introduction. (view spoiler)[ It's nice to see a modern book set in this time about magic that the people did not discover their powers in the first few chapters, these sister already had and probably have their whole lives, it's different. (hide spoiler)]

[Jess]

Just finished chapter 5
(view spoiler)[ I also enjoy a story when they already are familiar with their powers. But it seems she doesn't know how to use them and can't control them, so there is going to be a growth in her powers and I'm sure she'll be more powerful than she imagines. I'm feeling a bit of a "cozy mystery" vibe. I want to relate to Maggie, I just feel her too naive. I definitively see the betray coming, because not only was it heavily hinted, but shee needed a push to go back home. I'm curious to see what she encounters when she arrives! (hide spoiler)]

[Emma]

I am struggling to read this, not because it is not good, my kindle is playing up and does not seem to want to open this no matter what I do, I will keep trying though.

[Emma]

Finished chapter 2, it's okay, not the biggest fan of it so far. WIll keep going when my kindle allows though :)

[Jess]

I'm also not the biggest fan so far. I really don't connect with any character, and I'm not a fan of the story. It feels like a cozy mystery, but without the things I enjoy. I'll keep reading a bit more.
Hope your kindle starts behaving itself!

[Emma]

It's just for this book for some reason, maybe it's telling me something lol. No hope for it improving quickly then? I am not a massive fan of organised religion and I do not like reading about, it bores me.

[Jess]

That part ends soon, but I just don't really care for the characters, including Maggie.

[Emma]

I liked her in the prologue but not now.

[Jess]

Me too! I loved the prologue, not only because she was younger (so her naivety made more sense) but because I saw so many opportunities! Now, I just don't feel her and the story seems so predictable...

[Emma]

Finished chapter 5 (view spoiler)[ glad she is out of there, hopefully now the story is back in Dark Root I will enjoy it more. :) sorry for being so slow. (hide spoiler)]

[Jess]

I just finished the book!
I ended up linking it. I feel the characters need development and I still don't feel a big connection, but it was a ligh read and I wanted to know how the story would end. I will probably read the second one.
I wont say anything until you finish, so keep me updated and I'll comment on what you read. Don't feel rush, read at any pace you want!

[Emma]

Ye this will probably be a slow one sorry, just not feeling it at the moment and reading other books too. I am trying not to stop books when I start them, have done that too many times. Gonna try and go back to all those and finish them eventually too.

Yes, I hate to not finish a book, bust mostly because I don't like leave thing uncompleted... a bit of ocd I guess!
Go at whatever pace you want, I'm so behind in my reads I wanted to start something else, and I try to avoid reading more than two books at a time.
Let me know of your progress! In the ending there is this one spoiler that is killing me!

[Emma]

Okay :)

[Jess]

Hi Emma! Hows it going? Let me know if you are planing to finish it!

[Emma]

Hi Jess, I am planning to finish but not anytime soon, sorry.
