## Description

The Thickety: A Path Begins [White, J. A., Offermann, Andrea] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. The Thickety: A Path Begins

Review: Enthralling dark fantasy! - I loved The Thickety. It had just enough dark, scary elements to keep me completely enthralled, and a perfect amount of fairytale elements to keep things balanced and age appropriate without taking away any of the dark feeling of the book. I loved Kara’s character, and watching her struggle with her own values (empathy for all creatures, kindness, and protecting her family) versus the values of The Path (eradicating magic at all costs), as well as struggling with the pull of the book, made her a fascinating protagonist. The magic was wonderful and creepy, and the characters were memorable. There are multiple antagonists, and I loved all of them. Sordyr, the chillingly terrible forest demon who is made of living branches and smells of decaying leaves. Grace, the beautiful daughter of the cult’s leader, who has more darkness within her than anyone sees. And Kara must even fight herself as she begins to be taken over by the grimoire. J.A. White uses my favorite style of writing, spare enough to not be distracting and to let the story shine on its own, but descriptive enough that I could feel and see and smell the story. It never felt overly complicated, or overly simple. The black and white silhouette illustrations by Andrea Offerman are also beautiful and eerily haunting. There are so many more fantastic things that I’d love to rave about but I can’t spoil anything! I cannot honestly think of one thing I disliked about the book (although the cliffhanger was pretty devastating…in a good way). I’d been in a reading slump where I had to make myself return to most books, but I was finding myself reading The Thickety at every possible opportunity and thinking about it when I couldn’t. This is definitely the best book I’ve read in its genre for a long time and I’ve already pre-ordered the next book in the series, The Whispering Trees, which is due out in March.
Review: The Thickety, a path begins.(suggested deeply) - This book is amazing!!so many twists and turns..its just perfect and my favorite author!!I do suggest this to people who love twists and creepy/spooky stuff and witches too.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Dark and twisted fantasy where witchcraft is the problem and solution
*by K***R on January 20, 2016*

This is really a different look at witchcraft, where it is not simply a story of magic in a world where magic is not looked upon as an acceptable vocation. It is more like magic in a world much like the puritanical colonial New England or Middle Ages Europe. It is not a terribly uplifting read. For every moment of hope there seemed to be three instances of terrible bad luck to counteract it. I enjoyed the story for its inventiveness, but I definitely won't be suggesting this book to my students. Though they often claim to love the violent nature of recent stories and long ago folklore this might be too intense for many of them. Good read for the YA genre, but not middle grade appropriate.
