Nathan, our protagonist, is the son of a White Witch and the most evil Black Witch who has ever lived, meaning that finding his place in the world has been…difficult, to say the least. In Green’s world, there are two factions of Witches – Black and White – locked in a constant struggle of good and evil. Rowling (I mean, who is?), Half Bad is still a very good read!

While Sally Green may not be the next J.K. That – and this pretty cool stunt where she gave out copies of her book from a cage in Piccadilly Station – put the book on my radar, but I only got around to reading it recently.

I first became aware of Half Bad around the time of its release in 2014, as its author, Sally Green, was being hailed by many as the next Harry Potter.
