Thomas has a straightforward writing style which I prefer when reading a novella but other readers may find it too simplistic. Based on the popularity of Thomas’ novel Threadneedle, The Hedge Witch will undoubtable have a lot of fans when it is released and if Threadneedle or similar coming of age teen witchy dramas are what you like then this is the novella for you.
