The story of Kelsie, and transplant from another world to Witch World, is my last Andre Norton book in my collection.
Kelsie McBlair is the unwilling owner of a Scottish estate. Out one night to save a wild cat from a hunter she falls through a gate (along with the cat) into Witch World. Alone and starved, she attacked, sees the last dying moments of an Estcarp witch, and is finally taken to Escore. There she’s drawn into the plots of Wittle, another Estcarp witch. She along with Yonan head into the dark to find an ancient power.
More than anything, this is a tale of acceptance. Kelsie cannot go back, and spends the book learning to deal with this fact even as she is unwillingly drawn to Wittle’s goal. It’s cute, face paced, and expose the eternal balance that Norton loves. I really liked it.
