The love interest was mehhhhh. I was expecting a lot more from her but in the end I was so disappointed. TBH I think something shady is going on with her. (also I ship Nathan and Gabriel so she is just intruding here) This sounded fine to me in theory but as I wrote HALF BAD I found that I couldn't keep to that initial idea and wanted to mix the perceptions up in the first book. But I still had the idea of the story arc for the three books (the arc of what would happen to Nathan) and I've stayed with that.
he is niss and Debsis clvrerHe gets bullied. He gets beaten. Thankfully, he has a Lily (named Annalise) to befriend him. A beautiful, clever, kind girl. Annalise has long blonde hair that glistens like melted white chocolate over her shoulders. She has blue eyes and long pale eyelashes. She smiles a lot, revealing her straight, white teeth. Her hands are impossibly clean, her skin is the color of honey, and her fingernails gleam.Annalise is a Pure blood, in the HP Universe, we would call her a Slytherin. A kind Slytherin. I hold out my picture. “What do you think? Now it’s finished.”

Nathan Byrne has been quietly monitored by the Council of Fairborn Witches for the first 17 years of his life. The Council fears the illegitimate son of the "World's Most Dangerous Blood Witch" will turn out like his father. As the conflict between the Blood Witches and the Fairborn Witches escalates, Nathan finds himself the target of a modern-day witch hunt. He begins a life-or-death quest, building alliances with fellow witches Annalise and Gabriel, while learning about himself along the way.Kennedy, Kat (12 March 2014).

After they find Mercury, Nathan and Gabriel manage to convince her to let them in, Gabriel being in the disguise of a new apprentice for Mercury, and Nathan convinces Mercury to wake Annalise. Mercury finds out their plan and a fight breaks out, in which Nathan transforms into an animal and manages to kill her. The storyline is amazing, I was feeling like crying every time I forced myself to close the book to sleep because I had this thing called work which is useless and couldn't wait to cuddle with it in bed, it just kept on making me more curious and intrigued!
So while I moderately enjoyed this book, it didn't blow me away or leave me with a big impression, as stated before I kept getting distracted from it. The book was fine though, the story was good, the characters were decent, the pace was good, overall though just not the kind of book for me. I didn't get hugely into it. The ending was fine, and for me it just feels like a pretty satisfying ending that can stay where it is, with something that leaves the reader guessing, kind of like a short story. This book was alright, but not great. Just not my kind of book is all. That's it.It gets pretty ridiculous with the amount of rules place on a child, but the Council has their prejudices, and it's clear they don't plan to let up. Nathan, who's only freedom included traveling to Wales every once in a while, refuses to ask permission for travel. Yet, his half-brother (a white witch), who genuinely cares about him, begs him to reconsider. That scene was one of the saddest in the book for me. Gabriel guides Nathan and Annalise through Paris in the hopes of finding Mercury, but a poorly kept secret threatens to end their camaraderie. Set in modern-day Europe, the final book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It’s a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love.

The world in this book is so amazing, I can't get enough of it and I hope the rest of the books are as great as this one. They join the Alliance of Free Witches and Nathan is sent to try and recruit his father, which he is able to do after spending a week with him. When they return they move to a forest and the war begins. During his private school education and for most of the time he spent in homeschooling afterwards he developed a relationship with Annalise O'Brien who he fell in love with. After being expelled they would meet in secret, but before he could confess his romantic feelings, her brothers found out and beat him badly. He didn't see Annalise for several years after this incident. I'm sorry, but I'm afraid this review will be terribly short. The reason? Take the title and replace the word "Half" with "Totally". Here you have my review. In Half Bad Nathan's gift was unknown. His only abilities were self healing and being able to identify witches, half bloods and fains by looking at their eyes. In Half Wild it was revealed that Nathan has the same natural gift as his father, which is to turn into animals. At the end of Half Wild, Nathan eats his father's heart and obtains his gifts. Nathan is very skilled in combat without the aid of his gifts, his weapon of choice being a knife.
