New series everyone! So, this story revolves around a girl named Wendy Everly. It begins with her "mother" trying to murder Wendy when Wendy was six. It then skips to Wendy's life today. She lives with her aunt and brother. At first I thought that she was stubborn, irritating, and unable to fulfill the criteria to be a desired main character. Then, a boy named Finn tells her she is not human but a Trylle (nice way of saying troll). He then tells her that she must go with him to find her true family. She refuses, until she is nearly kidnapped by the Vittra, an evil race of Trylle. The two then go to her real home, where Wendy discovers she is a princess. However, she is not happy there and her real mother is quite displeased of Wendy. I liked the mother, Elora, at first but during the course of the book found her more and more of an issue. Then, Wendy and Finn fell in love. Ugh, normally I like that kind of romance, but that was some very awkward love. Finn kissed her like one time then just left. Wendy was unsure of her feelings for him, but is now heartbroken because he left. Also, their love is forbidden which I wouldn't have minded if not for how the story-line was carried out. All in all, an okay book but I am definitely reading the next one in the series.

Hmm, what can I say about this book? Well, let's start off with Wisty. Her character development kind of went haywire in this new book, and her relationship with Byron was so awkward I almost skipped the pages including him. Whitford's development was at a standstill the whole time, though his relationship with his dead girlfriend ceased. However, Patterson made the mistake of bringing the girlfriend back in at the end equalling a seriously confused reader. Patterson also kept the reader completely in the dark. I mean, sometimes I had no clue what was going on. Characters kept drifting in and then disappearing so randomly it took forever just to figure out who each person was. Also, this whole "one" character was really just aggravating. With the reader knowing so little about his motives or the details of what he was doing, he became more of a problem for the reader rather than an actual character that develops throughout the story. This kind of unexplained writing is sadly prominent in James Patterson's series, Maximum Ride. Although, there the writing is slightly less confusing. However, I'm not sure if I will continue to read the next book in the Witch and Wizard series.
