The best book of 2014 was the first book I read this summer, Half Bad. Nathan lives in a black and white world. Witches are either good whites or bad blacks. The problem is that Nathan is gray; his father is the most feared black witch and his mother was a white witch. Uncertain which parent Nate would take after, he has grown up hated, feared, isolated, and abused. In the beginning of the book, Nathan is being held in a cage and trained like an animal to use his gifts to hunt his father and prove his goodness. When Nathan escapes, his must prove to the world and himself if he is good or bad or a little of both. This is the most fascinating and original novel that I have read in a long time, and I can't wait for the end of March to bring me book two, Half Wild. As you read, you are not sure if Nathan is good or bad, but it is easy to see that white regime of good has brought only horrors to him. You won't be able to stop thinking about this tale of good and evil and everything inbetween. This is a must read!
