review:
'Weather Witch' by Shannon Delany takes place in an alternate Philadelphia where electrical power is generated by people with a strange gift.
Jordan Astraea has lived a life of privilege among the wealthy. During her birthday party, it is discovered that she might be a weather witch. This devastates her family as their home is forced to remove all electricity for harboring a weather witch and Jordan is taken into custody to be shaped with her newfound power. Her imprisonment is cruel as it is thought that torture brings forth the power. Meanwhile, a young suitor rides to her rescue, only stopping to participate in a duel first.
I read it and I finished it, but it didn't hold my attention. I found myself thinking about my next book, and that's never a good sign. It's certainly got a good premise, and the world seems interesting, but the characters that populate the setting are either dull or melodramatic tropes.
I received a review copy of this ebook from St. Martin's Press and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
