Dos días leyendo... no esta mal, pero quienes me conocen saben que cuando un libro me atrapa no termino de leer hasta llegar al final y con Caza de Brujas no tuve ningún problema en dejarlo todo un día aunqueeee si que me gusto.
Voy a leer la segunda parte porque promete y me atrae demasiado.

To sum it up, I loved it. I read it in two days when I was in a reading slump and then I got a book hangover. I remember reading mixed reviews about this one, so I was hesitant to pick this up but it was SO. GOOD.
WHY I LOVED THIS BOOK TO THE MOON AND BACK AND WANT THE WORLD TO READ IT
* It's alternate history set in a 16th England. Witches are supposed to be bad and everything and are burnt. Because of that, the world is a dark place and no one is safe. There was a plague started by wizards that killed half the country. Because there are wizards, there is an Inquisition (I've always wanted to write that kind of book so I'm happy)! So of course, there is an underground organization of wizards to fight against all the system (and they're called the Reformists so it's a TRUE alternate history).
* The main character, Elizabeth Grey, is a witch hunter (hence the title). As soon as the first chapter, we got to see her fight the wizards. She's strong and has a hard time trusting people. Because of the time period, even if she lived in the palace, she got through big issues and I liked that (well not really) because it was realistic. We didn't actually see what happened but it was there.
* The plot involves a curse that needs to be broken. It is a fast-paced plot, set in the dark for the most part, it was an enjoyable story to read about. The characters go to parties with supernatural beings.
* I was scared there would be a love triangle, because in the beginning of the novel, there was an overprotective best friend. But because of the choices Elizabeth made, the love triangle didn't exist.
* There is an untrustworthy ghost character! He was so funny and had a relationship with a living character. There are also characters like a seer-child. There are also pirates and the characters travel by ship!
* I didn't see the plot twist coming. It's true that some things were weird but… I hadn't realised. That ending was kick-ass, selfless and a little creepy. Can I have the next book, please?
BUT IT STILL HAD SOME ISSUES
* I wanted a little more world-building. Like more on: why witches, more witch hunter-y scenes, etc.
* When I realized what the romance would be, I was a little disappointed because I didn't buy it? She just fell in love with the guy who saved her life, of course… Still, the author wrote swoony-worthy scenes with these two characters so it was okay.
Overall, I love that kind of books, with witches and alternate history and everything. It's been a while since I read one like that so my heart was pleased. I really enjoyed the main character who was tough and had hard choices to make. I didn't really like the romance, but I'm sure it will be better in the next book. Basically you need to read it and love it!

I really enjoyed this book. It was fast paced, a lil witchy and historical. Highly recommend!
J'ai ADORÉ ce livre et je suis tombée amoureuse des personnages principaux, en particulier d'Elizabeth et Fifer. Maintenant je fonce lire le deuxième tome ! ♡
Ok, das war totaler Bockmist. Schlimmer Bockmist. Gott, ich mag es echt nicht.
I am essentially a magpie when it comes to books about witches. I can’t resist them. When you throw comparisons to Graceling in the mix, GAME OVER, I am convinced that I must read the book.
