Ebenfalls als schade empfand ich, dass man als Leser die Charaktere leider nur sehr oberflächlich kennenlernt. Sie sind sehr eindimensional beschrieben und leider bleibt dies auch so. Man erfährt kaum etwas über sie, was unglaublich schade ist, denn gerade hier hätte man so viel aus den Figuren rausholen können.

[ JBE:BoHR:AC] Hag Magic: Some changelings develop a gift for spellcasting instead of their mothers’ overtly fearsome traits. A changeling with this trait displays one or more stark white streaks in her hair as a child. The DCs of any saving throws against enchantment spells she casts increase by 1, and if her Charisma score is 11 or higher, she also gains the following spell-like abilities, usable once per day each: dancing lights, detect magic, disguise self, and pass without trace. The caster level of these spell-like abilities is equal to the changeling’s character level. The DC for these spell-like abilities is equal to 10 + the spell’s level + the changeling’s Charisma modifier. This racial trait replaces the claws and natural armor racial abilities. Source PPC:AoE

Hunters have the fighting skills you need like Long Reach and Hew plus there is the savage Brute—a monster of unbridled power The voyage of self discovery Alyce sails on unleashes her true magical powers that tip the balance of politics as well as the living and the dead. It involves some prominent historical figures too. Queen Elizabeth 1 and Mary Queen of Scots feature and so too does their documented, tormented relationship. I love the way true history is woven with Nicholas Bowling’s fiction offering spectacular twists; historical fiction is an intriguing way for children to learn about the past and feel like they’re experiencing it real time. Nicholas Bowling fully immerses us in Elizabethan London, with its cobbled streets, dingy taverns and suspicious smells. This historical fantasy is set in London 1577. Britain is divided under two queens, segregated by two warring religions and the females of the country are being outed as witches and slain in fear. But the hidden truth is that there is actually some fact behind this female persecution. Hagsight: The changeling has an innate sense of when she is being observed. Changelings with this racial trait who have a Charisma score of 15 or higher may cast detect scrying once per day as a spell-like ability (caster level is equal to the changeling’s class level). This racial trait replaces darkvision and the changeling’s hag racial trait. [ JBE:BoHR:AC]

It’s no secret that the atmosphere of a book is the most important thing to me, whether I can feel the mood and be immersed in the setting is a big deal for this here reader. The atmosphere of Witchborn was delightfully creepy, and perfect for this time of year, I fell right into the setting and into this story, the darkness was captivating and the uncertainty was gripping. The atmosphere is certainly what bumped this rating up so high. I could feel the groggy setting of a wet grey London, emphasised by the violence and mistreatment of our poor Alyce, I could sense the fear and caution bubbling. For a witchy read, the atmosphere delivered 100% for me. Warrior: Reduce the cost of powers manifested through martial power by 1/6 power point (minimum 0).

Source PCS:CtIE Das Buch spielt im 16. Jahrhundert, was mir im Prinzip wirklich sehr gut gefallen hat. Allerdings empfand ich die Geschichte gerade deshalb nicht wirklich als authentisch. Die Sprache war mir zu "modern", insbesondere die Dialoge und auch war mir die ganze Atmosphäre einfach nicht düster genug. Obwohl die Geschichte genau das verspricht, hat mir eben genau das gefehlt. Una vez en Londres se ve envuelta en una red de intriga y conspiraciones que involucran a las reinas Elizabeth y María Estuardo, al misterioso consejero de la primera, el Doctor Dee, e incluso a la madre de Solomon, quién es más de lo que parece. Los cazadores de brujas no le darán tregua tampoco, así que Alyce debe decidir en quién confiar en esta guerra oculta, antes de quedar aplastada en medio.
