My favourite witchy read this year! The magic system was very unique and I loved it a lot! You have Spring, Summer, Autumn/Fall and Winter witches who come with their own seasonal powers. The protagonist Clara is an Everwitch which means her powers and magic go beyond one season. She is powerful all year around.
It's an YA book, a genre I usually don't read, but it was so well done! The writing style was beautiful and the characters were loveable and I very much enjoyed getting to know them better. I also really appreciated Paige's words to Clara in chapter 36, since Clara slightly annoyed me sometimes.

The Nature of Witches is enchanting, and had me enraptured from beginning to end! It’s a book full of change, and ill tidings, and growth, and destruction, and I found solace in its pages.
Rachel Griffin took the climate crisis, and she took magic, and she took love, and she put it all together with so much care. The epigraphs at the beginning of every chapter; the botanical illustrations at the beginning of every season; the supporting characters and the seasons they personified; everything in this book had so much purpose and care behind it. This book feels like not just a love story between Clara and Sang, or between Clara and herself, but also between the reader and the world we live in.
The writing was amazing, the story was beautiful, and the characters brought it all to life. Five stars.

This book felt like a cozy hug from the earth 🥰 I loved the seasonal magic - every witch's magic is tied to a season and I found that so interesting. It was so cool because each season's witch had such a distinguished personality/magical power - it almost reminded me of the four different hogwarts houses in a way: gryffindor is summer, ravenclaw is autumn, slytherin is winter and hufflepuff is spring (not me trying to tie everything into harry potter haha).
I loved following our main character Clara who is a rare everwitch that can control all 4 seasons, and is the only person who can save earth's climate crisis. I loved seeing her overcome her self doubt + fear as she learned how to control her powerful magic, fall deeply in love with Sang, and essentially save the world.
