Sam lived an idyllic life, one befitting a princess of Oz. The only severe blemish she suffered was the mysterious disappearance of her father years earlier. Since then, Sam, her sister Elle, and their mother Glinda had lived happily together, albeit always missing his presence. Their peaceful existence began to crumble when rumors of a new Wicked Witch started to swirl, and soon Sam was prone to terrifying visions of the future that showed utter destruction of everything she held dear. With the help of some old friends, Sam set out to discover her destiny and help good triumph over evil once again.
The Good Witch of the South by T.C. Bartlett follows Sam as she embarks on an epic adventure to save not only her family but every inhabitant in the land of Oz. Bartlett has created a beautiful world that includes enough elements from the original Oz stories to appeal to fans of the classic, but the story could just as easily stand alone in the fantasy genre. The story is familiar, with the coming-of-age heroine, the apparent underdog group of unlikely allies, and devastating death all represented, but it�s done in such a way that it is an irresistible read. Sam�s relationship with her sister and her mother are so well written they easily reflect everyday familial ties, and as she learns to grow into the person she needs to be, the relationships she forms with the others around her mature as well.
I think The Good Witch of the South is about family, and what defines such. The complex story of how her family came together provides the catalyst for a large part of the action, as well as driving much of Sam�s motivations. At the same time, Sam�s journey of self discovery provides an allegory for the transition to adulthood that she is experiencing at the same time. It is a very relatable thread that runs throughout the larger plot.
I found the timeline of The Good Witch of the South to be somewhat unclear in parts, which was a slight distraction, but ultimately it was not an insurmountable obstacle. The characters were wildly different and each provided a necessary piece of the puzzle which kept the narrative flowing and prevented it from getting stale, while the fight scenes offered excellent imagery. The Good Witch of the SouthÃ? is inspired by the classic Wizard of Oz but takes things in a much more mature, deep, and different direction that it stands on its own as a captivating fantasy adventure story.
