R.J.'s Reviews > The Hedgewitch of Foxhall

I always feel a bit apprehensive about books involving witches, as I'm never quite sure what the author is going to do with them. But I needn't have worried about Anna Bright's take, because The Hedgewitch of Foxhall is thoughtful, charming, and truly refreshing. It's also deeply rooted in Welsh history and geography, which I loved, and the three POV characters are distinct, well-developed, and compelling despite (and because of) their different personalities and flaws. It's also a legitimate love triangle -- meaning that all three sides are emotionally connected, instead of just one character having to choose between two relationships -- and one that's handled unusually well, with real chemistry and affection in every direction and high stakes resting on everyone's choices. And although the magical elements are inspired by Welsh folklore and mythology without reference to any particular religion, there are subtly Christian underpinnings to the book's moral and spiritual worldview which I really appreciated. This book deserves more readers and I hope it finds them!
