Once revered and feared, she now lived in a dilapidated cabin at the edge of the village. The abandoned witch, as the villagers called her, was a shadow of her former self.

They blamed her for their misfortunes - failed crops, sudden illnesses, and inexplicable accidents. Superstition spread like wildfire, and fear gripped the villagers' hearts. They no longer saw her as a wise and benevolent healer but as a malevolent sorceress, bringing nothing but doom and despair. Rumors began to circulate, painting a wicked image of the abandoned witch. People whispered of her conversations with spirits, her dark rituals performed under the moonlight, and her ability to curse anyone who crossed her path. The once respected healer became an outcast, shunned by the very same people who had once sought her assistance. Loneliness and isolation became her only companions. She withdrew from society, seeking solace in her cabin amid the dense woods. The villagers viewed her as a threat, a danger lurking on the outskirts of their community. So, they erected a barricade, effectively cutting her off from the rest of civilization. Days turned into months, and months into years. The abandoned witch lived in small, cramped quarters, surrounded by dusty tomes and dried herbs. Her only solace was in the company of her familiar – a small black cat who never left her side. The cat, unlike the villagers, recognized her for who she truly was – a misunderstood soul, yearning for understanding and acceptance. Despite her desolate existence, the abandoned witch never forgot her purpose. She continued to study ancient texts and unlock the secrets of magic and healing. Though her powers were curtailed and her influence diminished, she still possessed the ability to mend broken bones and cure the common ailments that plagued the villagers. But as the years passed, the villagers' hostility only grew. Ignorance bred fear, and fear fueled hatred. They had closed their minds to the possibility that the abandoned witch could be a force for good once again. And so, they chose to cast her aside, leaving her to wither away in her cabin. In the end, it was not her powers that caused her downfall, it was the fear and prejudice of those who should have known better. The abandoned witch, though forgotten and scorned, held onto hope. Hope that one day, the villagers would see the error of their ways and redemption would be within reach. Until then, she remained an enigmatic figure, trapped in her abandoned cabin, awaiting a chance for her true worth to be recognized once again..

"The abandoned witch" was simply awful. The story was incredibly predictable, and I felt like I was reading a poorly written version of a popular fantasy series. The dialogue was cliché and the characters were one-dimensional. There was no originality or creativity in this book, and I regret wasting my time on it.

"The abandoned witch" was an underwhelming read for me. The plot was predictable, and I never felt invested in what was happening.

I couldn't even finish "The abandoned witch." The writing was dry and the characters were forgettable. The story felt like a rehash of other witch-themed novels I've read before. There was nothing unique or interesting about this book, and I quickly lost interest in finding out how it would end. I would recommend skipping this one and finding a more engaging read.
