Ahoy there mateys! This is the first book in a series about a wild-witch named Clara.  The awesome cover and the Danish author.  I thought this had a solid start.  Clara is a bit stubborn but overall I like her.  I enjoyed the fact that even though her magic is strong, she cannot control it or even use it very much.  I like her aunt and the menagerie of animals.  I love the relationship Clara has with her mom and also with her best friend.  The writing style and plot feel a bit old-fashioned but was enjoyable.  I didn't love the trials in the book.  It doesn't have me rushing out to read the rest of the series but curiosity will likely lead me to read more at some point. Arrr!
