When scrolling through books in Amazon’s Kindle Unlimited programme for something new, the cover for The Last Witch caught my eye. With a black background and fiery red seven pointed star, how could my witchy heart not be intrigued? I’ll admit, this wasn’t the best written, or the best edited book I’ve ever read, but the story…

Ah, the story…

Well, that’s something we desperately need to talk about.

I saw this little gem on Amazon First reads and couldn’t resist. I’m a sucker for anything witchy and I was also really happy to see that this book was getting lots of good press over on Instagram and Tiktok because it really does deserve it. Let’s take a look at why!

I was looking for a new sci-fi read this month, a palette cleanser between all the fantasy I’ve been reading lately. I have Amazon Prime, so when I got my Amazon First Reads email this month I was more than intrigued to find Meru being offered as one of the reads. I was also convinced to download this book because I saw it was a Nebula and Hugo award finalist, and the books I’ve seen previously crowned winners by these contests never fail to disappoint. Intrigued, I started to read.
