The Near Witch by Victoria Schwab
You might want to consider reading...
Entwined by Heather Dixon
Victoria Schwab has been praised for her lyrical writing and the fairytale atmosphere she created in TNW. Dixon's debut, Entwined, is striking in its own account with magical prose, some eerie twists and undertones, and fairytale vibes. While TNW only seemed to be reminiscent of folklore, Entwined is a more obvious retelling of The Twelve Dancing Princesses, but a truly compelling and creative one.
Witch Song by Amber Argyle
Besides the obvious similarity of both Witch Song and TNW being about, well, witches, they also share a story of a young girl on a journey of self-discovery. Both main characters, both Brusenna and Lexi experience some extremely well-paced character development as they mature into young women (and save the world and all that jazz, too).
Are there any other books you find to be similar to any of these? Any books you'd like to see some similar recommendations for?

I haven't read the other two, but I've read Entwined! I liked it a lot!
I read The Near Witch, and I absolutly loved it! I'll totally be reading Entwined and Witch Song soon! Thanks for the recommendations, this is such a cool post! =D
Haven't read any of these, but they all sound great! Nice feature, it's always good to have some recommendations :)
Thank you! I'm hoping to do more of these, because I know this is the kind of post I'd like to see more of around on blogs!
I liked Witch Song, I'll have to check the other two out. I see them popping up all the time =)
Hurrah! I'm totally using this in reverse - I read & loved Entwined for how beautifully written it was, and loved the story. I hadn't really heard of The Near Witch until now & Witch Song's cover has uh, honestly always creeped me out a little, but I'll give them a try! :D
I highly recommend all of these books- so if you're using this backwards, go for it! Witch Song's cover really doesn't do the story justice.
