Again, I loved the first book, Elena + Jean-Paul's story was great. The other two books... just did not do it for me. Nothing against the author, she is so imaginative and I am always enchanted by the world she creates. I personally just don't like/am not invested in Sidra's story.

Review of The Vine Witch #1 || Review of The Glamourist (The Vine Witch #2)

In this third volume of the Vine Witch we learn more about Sidra's life. We can finally know what happened to her, the reason why she was in jail and who she was hiding from.
We are introduced to the magical and mysterious world of jinn and the fascinating world of the perfume witches.
The peculiar friendship between Elena, Sidra and Yvette might prove to be very powerful, in both senses.

Thanks to 47North and NetGalley for providing me with this e-arc in exchange for my honest review.

This is book 3 in the Vine Witch series by Luanne G. Smith. This was by far my least favourite of the three.

This one in the series follows the final member of our triumvirate, Sidra the Jinni. It was very interesting to hear about more of her back story, and exactly how she came to be bound etc. I just wish it hadn't felt so hard to get through. At points it felt like I was trying to pull myself through treacle to read the page.

I love Luanne's writing style, and I love the world that she has created with the 3 characters, which is why this book garners a 3 star rating from me. I didn't like the antagonist, and found him to be very two dimensional. The "twist" wasn't really a twist either, and the whole plot seemed a convenient coincidence.

I'm glad the trilogy is done and I'm glad I read it, but I couldn't do it again.

An Enjoyable Read

Witches, Fae and Jinni entwined in this third tale that leads you through great friendship, love and adventure. This quote best sums up The Conjurer; “Chaos and order rested on two sides of a sharp edge, but so did pain and pleasure. Harmony and discord. There was not one without the other. Always the dance of tension. One could choose which side to lean into if or when the blade tipped off-center.”

Less lyrical than its predecessors but still a pleasure to read.
