Review:
The Nature of Witches by Rachel Griffin is a pretty cliché novel about a special witch, who is entrusted to save the world but she refuses to accept her true powers.

The world consists of Humans and Witches living with each other. There are four types of witches, Summer, Winter, Autumn, and Spring with each season, they can only use their power during their season. And there is one Everwitch, whose magic is more powerful than any of the seasonal witches, and their magic works throughout the year.

The protagonist of this novel, Clara is an Everwitch. But she is not ready to use her powers because she is afraid of losing her control and harming her loved ones. Every time she loses control, she loses someone she loves. But if she will not use her powers, the environment will be affected adversely by climatic changes.

She is assigned with a newcomer witch, Sang, who will be training her to learn control. With the changes in Season, her magic changes and so does she. What will happen if she loses her control? What if she loses herself in the process? What will happen if she falls for Sang and endanger his life as well? Will she able to protect everyone she loved?

I liked the world-building in this book. I also liked the fact that the author addresses major climatic changes and environmental problems in this book. The protagonist is bisexual, which is something I took as a pro point.  But the story itself is pretty cliché. The chemistry between Clara and Sang reminded me of Rose and Dimitri from Vampire Academy by Richelle Mead.

I found the protagonist, Clara similar to most of the YA novel, not accepting her true nature, refusing to accept her powers, dead parents, losing her loved ones, falling in love with their trainers. But this book is enjoyable and will keep you entertained.
