I know, it's been a while since I have posted a review and I am still reading, but I am in the middle of a series of 18 books! But, I did take a break from the series a couple of times and these are the reviews for those I broke the series for!
The Witch's Boy was interesting because it told the "other side of the story" for all of the fairy tales you've ever heard that include witches. That was kind of humorous. You've heard the stories all your life and how horribly evil the witches are and then in this story, you hear the "true" story and how it isn't as it's been told, that the witches aren't evil. All too often it's humans that are evil. Which is very true!
This story is about an ugly baby that was left for a witch to raise. I think the thing that really bugged me about the story is that the kids is a spoiled, bratty, selfish thing and he causes trouble and his witch "mom" pays terrible prices for it, but he never even acknowledges it, let alone thank her for it or even try to be good in the future. His selfish, spoiled attitude caused him to chase after an openly shallow and cruel girl as though she were the sun and moon and to neglect his nursemaid who actually dies! Then later in the story, he marries a nice girl and lives a happy life, so it just kind of ticked me off.
