From the creator of RIVERDALE comes the Chilling Adventures
of Sabrina, a new NETFLIX series based on the classic Archie
comic series. This prequel YA novel tells an all-new, original story.
It's the summer before her sixteenth birthday, and Sabrina Spellman
knows her world is about to change. She's always studied magic
and spells with her aunts, Hilda and Zelda. But she's also lived
a normal mortal life - attending Baxter High, hanging out with
her friends Susie and Roz, and going to the movies with her boyfriend,
Harvey Kinkle.
Now time is running out on her every day, normal world, and leaving
behind Roz and Susie and Harvey is a lot harder than she thought
it would be. Especially because Sabrina isn't sure how Harvey
feels about her. Her cousin Ambrose suggests performing a spell
to discover Harvey's true feelings. But when a mysterious wood
spirit interferes, the spell backfires in a big way.
Sabrina has always been attracted to the power of being a witch.
But now she can't help wondering if that power is leading her
down the wrong path. Will she choose to forsake the path of lightand
follow the path of night?
Our exclusive prequel novel will reveal a side of Sabrina not
seen on the new NETFLIX show. What choice will Sabrina make and
will it be the right one?
The characters here matched the show perfectly, and for that, I applaud Sarah Rees Brennan. I imagine that was incredibly hard to do. I particularly loved the other characters chapters. They were the highlight of this book for me, and I think that's just because we see so much of Sabrina in the TV show. It was great to see outside of her story. I loved the formatting of this book, but the black pages (with white letters) had my eyes straining a bit.
This did take me a bit to get into, and I think it's because I didn't love the plot here. Other than that though, I'm interested to see what the next book brings.
