Thank you @writtersread For letting me part of this tour and reviewing this book. Glunda the Veg Witch. This book is targeted at 16 to 18 years old and above, and it’s a fantasy genre. The story is about Glunda who is going to become the head witch and is the youngest witch to have the golden key, but there will be problems with the mages. The story is engaging from the beginning and is beautifully written. This is a short book of 148 pages. I feel young adults will really like this story. The story is a good place that you’ll be able to keep up with. If you’ like magic and witches, this book is definitely for you. I like the front cover. It has autumn fell to it and colorful. If you like witches and magic, then this book is for you. I hope they’ll be a book to, cause I’d like to see more from Glenda in the future. Four stars.

“A witch’s boots told the story of her life. They showed you where she’d been, where she was going, and what kind of a witch she would be when she got there. And, most importantly, they were proof that said witch was not someone to be trifled with. She was to be listened to, and obeyed, and yes sometimes even feared, because her wisdom was hard earned and her wrath swift and mighty. They would have to be, for her to have lived in such boots for so many a year. No one trusted a witch in brand new boots, and rightly so as far as Glunda was concerned.”
Glunda Ashwillow is on top of the world. About to become head witch, and the youngest ever Guardian of the Golden Key, the only thing standing in her way is her old enemy, the Drupe Mages. They have the key, and they're not willing to give it up without a fight.
With a coven of quarrelsome witches to contend with, and a fief full of farmers on the verge of revolt, can Glunda beat the mages and get the key before she runs out of veg? Or is there a cold, hard, carrot-less winter ahead for all concerned?
A tale of heroism and hotpots, Glunda The Veg Witch is a fun fantasy adventure everyone can enjoy.
