As Anaid struggles with this discovery, she starts developing powers of her own, and sets out on a dangerous journey to rescue her mother and, ultimately, herself.

I really enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow, but once I got into it I didn't want it to end. Would love to read the later books, but looks as though I will have to brush up on my languages to do so at present!

It may be the fact that this is a translation, but much of the writing here is awkward and clumsy. The plot is quite exciting, though not original, and the characters are fun, if a little shallow, but there is not much description or sense of place, and I found this disappointing. Why it claims to be an International Bestseller I can't imagine.

Anaid is short, too smart for popularity, and embarrassed by her mother.
But when her mother suddenly disappears, Anaid realizes that she's a witch. And not just any witch, but the daughter of the Chosen One.
She's the one who's supposed to end the bloody war between the Odish and the Omar. As she searches for her mother, Anaid finds out more about her heritage and about herself.
I found WAR OF THE WITCHES to be exciting, though it was slightly confusing at parts. There's a great plot and original characters, and if you're a fantasy lover and can get past some of the details, I'm sure you'll like this book.
