This is actually Schwab debut novel. Same story vibe but not as refined as her latest novel. Great spray edges tho. The edges of the book is sprayed with pictures, very beautiful.

This is one of my favorite book from Schwab. The plot & characters are great even though a bit too fast paced but overall it was amazing. If you're looking for a Halloween read, this book is perfect for it!

Near hanyalah sebuah desa. Dan Near Witch adalah Penyihir desa Near, hanyalah mitos yg digunakan untuk menakut-nakuti anak-anak. Tapi satu-persatu anak desa Near lenyap bersamaan dengan datangnya seorang asing misterius. Near Witch membuktikan bahwa tema 'jika terjadi sesuatu yg salah, carilah seseorang untuk jadi kambing hitam' selalu relevan di setiap masa, di mana-mana...

The word building of this book is so cool, reminds me of old folktale of England and dark version of Grimm's fairy tale. I recommend this stand alone for begginers of Schwab's works or YA fantasy.

What do you expect, it's Queen Schwab, everybody. The story about The Near Witch hooked you up in no time. Bonus for the beautiful raven perched on the edges. Pretty books with pretty little stories.
