Okay Nahan Byrne is a half black witch and half white witch but in a world where witch witches and the ultimate good and kill black witches Nathan is an unknown and is therefore treated as such. 
 Nathan lives a harsh life where he's put through the paces and lives in a cage. Each year he is assessed and each year grows closer to the day where he will either be left to die without being allowed to have a giving or to what the witches believe, that he should complete his destiny. 
 Half bad is well written and easy to read. It sparks a righteous anger for Nathan inside you as you bond with him due to the things he has to put up with due to parentage. It's a nice story that allows you to see how the sins of the father can reflect on the child. Children should never suffer for what their parents have done but 'Half Bad' embarks on the fact that children do get blamed, some allow their prejudices and beliefs to get in the way and for that the story had a written message that calls for the reader to shout out for Nathan.
