I think it's brilliant.<br /><br />Greenwitch is my favourite of the Dark is Rising series--I prefer the Simon, Jane and Barney books over the Will Stanton books and I love the character of the Greenwitch.<br /><br />Love Ibbotsen, love Which Witch--and I haven't read Beasts, so thanks for pointing it out!Kim Aippersbachhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02556947405633680410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-82501627482001416962013-10-20T17:20:34.159-07:002013-10-20T17:20:34.159-07:00Aw, I forgot about the baby kraken!

I should reread Which Witch, I remember it being completely lovely.<br /><br />The Witches, meanwhile, remains one of the scariest books I have ever read.
