When I saw this book I knew I had to read it. I have a wonderful love of all things paranormal and witches fit right in.Book Description
For centuries, witches have maintained the climate, their power from the sun peeking in the season of their birth. But now their control is faltering as the atmosphere becomes more erratic. All hope lies with Clara, an Everwitch whose rare magic is tied to every season.
In Autumn, Clara wants nothing to do with her power. It’s wild and volatile, and the price of her magic—losing the ones she loves—is too high, despite the need to control the increasingly dangerous weather.
In Winter, the world is on the precipice of disaster. Fires burn, storms rage and Clara accepts that she’s the only one who can make a difference.
In Spring, she falls for Sang, the witch training her. As her magic grows, so do her feelings, until she’s terrified Sang will be the next one she loses.
In Summer, Clara must choose between her power and her happiness, her duty and the people she loves...before she loses Sang, her magic, and thrusts the world into chaos.

My Thoughts
I love the subject of the book. Witches.
I felt the author did a great job by breaking the book up into sections based on seasons. It was a lovely read though slow at moments.
That said I really liked Clara I wanted to protect her. She was a young woman who was given powers that she could not control and yet she has to for the well-being of others. However, she wasn't the strongest heroine.
I loved the author's description of the setting and how she described some of the scenes using magic.
Overall not a bad read but not my favorite either. It fell somewhere in the middle.
