Will Mup help Crow’s mother to save the Kingdom from the curse of the old queen? Can she save the Kingdom in time?
Fans of this series will want to read the last book to find out how everything ends. The series offers fantasy mixed with family dynamics to create a riveting story about ghosts, witches, shape shifters and all kinds of magical beings. This book will appear to fantasy lovers in grades 3-5. ( )

The evil deposed queen sends the biblical equivalent of plagues to Witches Borough. The latest plague is drought and a dried-up river. Mup talks to the earth, teaches magic to young children, and faces the queen to help end the dry spell. The action is a little slow in the beginning. I understand it is fantasy, but temporary dead is a bit much. The plot is ok, but not amazing. I feel like the audience for this witchcraft fantasy will be small, but passionate. I was not a big fan, myself. ( )

Although Mum' grandmother, the evil queen has been banished and exiled, there is a fretful optimism that her absence is forever. Now that the relentless snow has stopped, a drought has taken its place and the town is fearful she is watching and biding her time.

Mum is trying hard to convince the people that kindness and cooperation is the key to their success. She's opened a school for ALL children...yet some are reluctant to believe.

When Crow's mother, Magda shows up, she expects Mup to keep her promise to help. But, helping her find and reunite with the evil queen is not on the top of her list. Yet, together will all her friends, Crow, Grey Girl, Naomi, and Dr. Emberly, Mup finds her strength, Crow finds his voice, and Naomi uses her talents like never before.

The Promise Witch is a fitting conclusion to the Wild Magic trilogy with its subtle nod to important issues and worthwhile endeavors.

Thank you to LibraryThing Early Reviewers, Candlewick Press, and Celine Kiernan for this ARC. ( )

This is a great conclusion to the trilogy. I had read the first novel as an Early Reviewer book and enjoyed it. I then won this book as an Early Reviewer. To ensure I enjoyed the book properly I purchased and read the second book in the trilogy.
This is a very easy read. The book flows nicely and keeps the suspense going at an even pace. Written for middle school-age children, it is still enjoyable for all ages.
This book could be read as a stand-alone novel. ( )

The Promise Witch (The Wild Magic Trilogy, Book Three) by Celine Kiernan

The wicked Queen put a curse of drought on the land. Young Witch Mup and her friend Crow want to help . It is not long that Crow finds out his Mother, Magda has an evil plan. Together Mup and Crow try to stop Magda and the Queen, who happens to be Mup's Grandmother. Mup and Crow will do what ever it takes to stop their family from destroying the land.

A fantastic magical story of friendship, family, love and adventure. The characters are well developed and likable. With engaging dialog and detailed prose I was pulled into the story, hooked from the first page until the end. Overall I found The Promise Witch enjoyable and highly recommend to young adult as well as adult readers.

*Great as a stand alone, but suggest the first two in the series as well. ( )
