Normal witches help to control the weather and climate, but with her gifts, Clara is expected to help save a planet currently being poisoned by the actions of polluting humans who aren’t taking responsibility for their negative choices. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Burdened by heavy expectations and haunted by her past mistakes and losses, Clara is living every day afraid of what her magic can do. If she dares to get close to anyone, learns to love them, her magic can follow that love connection and hurt them. So she lives in isolation, accepting that as her only choice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ After the death of her favorite teacher, he is replaced by a truly awful man that luckily comes with a much nicer “grad student” that takes over Clara’s training, Sang. Through working together, Clara learns more about her powers and starts to gain some control, but her growing connection to Sang puts him increasingly in danger. Is their bond worth the risk? ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This story explores what it means to put so much expectation and burden onto a young person… without giving them a support system. Clara has to make extremely hard choices about her life and her powers over and over again, for fear of literally losing those she dares to love. But some of her teachers are only interested in what her powers can do for the world, not caring what it might cost her. Sang’s mentor, Mr. Burrows, is the worst of these, putting her through tests that are dangerous and abusive, just to make her prove herself. Seeing Clara learn to navigate these challenges while maintaining any sense of hope was at times difficult but also inspiring. Let Clara be a reminder to choose love above all else…and to never let the abusive dickheads win.

HTML: An Instant New York Times Bestseller In a world where witches control the climate and are losing control, only one witch can save earth from destruction. But as her power grows, it hurts those closest to her, and when she falls in love with her training partner she's forced to choose between her power, her love, and saving the earth. For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, but now their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic; the storms, more destructive. All hope lies with Clara, a once-in-a-generation Everwitch whose magic is tied to every season. In Autumn, Clara wants nothing to do with her power. It's wild and volatile, and the price of her magic??losing the ones she loves??is too high, despite the need to control the increasingly dangerous weather. In Winter, the world is on the precipice of disaster. Fires burn, storms rage, and Clara accepts that she's the only one who can make a difference. In Spring, she falls for Sang, the witch training her. As her magic grows, so do her feelings, until she's terrified Sang will be the next one she loses. In Summer, Clara must choose between her power and her happiness, her duty and the people she loves...before she loses Sang, her magic, and thrusts the world into chaos. "Perfect for fans of Shea Ernshaw and Taylor Swift's Folklore."??Rosiee Thor, author of Tarnished Are the Stars "A bright, fresh read from a glowing new voice, THE NATURE OF WITCHES is both timely and stirring. Griffin's emotional writing that cuts to the heart will make her a new YA favorite."??Adrienne Young, New York Times bestselling author of Fable "The forces of nature and magic blend perfectly in this masterfully told story... I couldn't love this book more."??Shea Ernshaw, NYT bestselling author of The Wicked Deep and Kirjastojen kuvailuja ei löytynyt. |

Also the cover is obviously a girl flipping her hair up - with all the writing about controlling the wind, it would have been better if she was caught mid-spin so her hair had a more tornado feel to it, rather than just a plain hair flip. I do love the background behind the girl on the cover though! (
