NetGalley Review: Not The Witch You Wed by April Asher

Not The Witch You Wed
by April Asher


Publisher: St. Martin’s Press


Release Date: February 8th 2022


Rating:   ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆


Sadly, despite the promising premise, this was a one-star read that narrowly missed getting a

DNF from me.  While the idea and world building is OK, the overall book just hits all the traits

that I can’t stand. Immature/Not-Like-Other-Girls protagonist, cliched bad guys, poor execution

of romance tropes, being mean parading as “snark,” one-dimensional cast of characters,

character descriptions that felt very much “men writing women” and a resolution that seems to

be completely out of line with the built world all contributed to this being an unenjoyable read. 

While I know some of these aspects are loved by other readers (no judgement, all reading is

good reading!), but for me, this one just did not do it.
