This makes for a shorter, quicker treat-one that can be read in an afternoon or two, depending on the format. I’ve heard relatively little about this series, but have wanted to check it out for a while now-ever since I started (but ultimately didn’t finish) Paul Cornell’s London Falling. It could threaten the very fabric of reality.Īll in all, The Witches of Lychford was a decent series’ opener, one that plays little with the traditional and established rules of witchcraft, but provides another nice escape from the non-magical world. Because the change that the store presents threatens more than just the town’s sleepy nature. The last of her kind in Lychford, and without a coven to call her own, she can do little to oppose the coming store. The company has been making the rounds, about the hamlet, in an attempt to curry favor-the results have been… mixed. And they are at each other’s throats about the impending vote. Some villagers welcome the change, others loathe it.
Still reeling from a personal tragedy, she moves back to Lychford to take over the post just in time to get caught up in all the kerfuffle over the potential store. Lizzie is the new town vicar, though she’d been a local before, long ago. A change that could destroy the world.Īutumn is a local wiccan-a practitioner of sorts, who owns her own magic shop in the center of town-but she is also a Traveler, one that has pierced the veil and wandered through some of the other realms. Protected by wards sewn into the fabric of the town, Lychford holds the Outside at bay, for now.īut with its local coven long gone, and a major supermarket chain bidding to drop a store on its doorstep, things are likely to change. A sleepy hamlet in the English countryside, Lychford is located at the crossroads of worlds-where the lines between faerie and other more remote locales are blurry, and the rules that govern reality are more like… guidelines.
