Ehh hola??? Que es este libro tan extremadamente maravillo, por que nadie habla de esta preciosidad??
La historia, los personajes, la ambientación, las amistades, el amor, todo en este libro es absolutamente perfecto
Elizabeth es una protagonista que me encantó demasiado, normalmente no conecto con las protagonistas pero es que esta mujer es sinónimo de fuerza, de poder, de lealtad, es que no hay palabras que describan mi amor por ella. Además es que ya he mencionado en muchas ocasiones que AMOOOO cuando los libros tienen un grupo de amigos y es que este grupo es HERMOSO, George, Faifer, John y Elizabeth son lo más lindo que hay en el mundo, se merecen todo lo bueno del universo

La segunda parte de caza brujas comienza de una manera potente, situándonos en un escenario de guerra. Elizabeth esta desconcertada del futuro de ella y de sus amigos y es un sentimiento recurrente en el libro y se deja ver claro en las interacciones que tiene con estos a lo largo de la historia. Y es aquí donde viene mi queja, los personajes son buenos, en esta segunda parte se introdujeron varios personajes y por lo mismo algunos de estos no tuvieron el tiempo de brillar.
Keagan es prueba de esto, es introducida aproximadamente en la mitad del libro y si tiene una participación relevante pero por sí misma introducción tardía se siente como un personaje que si brillo pero que pudo ser más importante.
Schuyler es un ejemplo de lo contrario, él destaca mucho más en este libro que en el primero y te hace hasta tomarle cariño, puesto que en el primer libro sus interacciones con los personajes fueron un poco toscas y eso alejaba un poco al personaje de mi.
Fifer es el personaje peor tratado en esta segunda parte, estando presente desde el inicio del segundo libro y teniendo buenos momentos en el primero, dentro de la historia no hace realmente nada, fue relegada a meramente un acompañante y su participación no es indispensable en ningún punto, aparentemente la autora obvió el hecho de que Fifer también es maga y de los lazos fuertes de ella con el resto de los personajes.
La relación de Jhon y Elizabeth no me gusta, es una opinión mía y no por eso demerita el libro, desde el primero libro siento que era un poco forzada y lo mantengo en esta, pero me agrado bastante el rumbo que tomo en ciertos momentos del libro (la encarcelaron de Jhon).
En si el libro es entretenido, inicia fuerte y pocas veces su ritmo baja, en esos momentos de intensidad leve se nos sueltan revelaciones o interacciones con los personajes que nos hacen seguir leyendo

This was a fairly standard YA fantasy, however I can't put my finger on what exactly I really liked about it. I was swept away in the story and its characters. Even though the setting is historical, you don't notice it and it doesn't hinder the story at all. I sometimes even forgot that we were supposed to be in historic times. The magic that was used was very quirky and there were a lot of elements that spoke to me. Although it was predictable, I still had a lot of fun with this.
I really enjoyed "The Witch Hunter". It was similar to a lot of current YA fantasy novels, yet different enough to make it stand out. Elizabeth is a witch hunter along with her best friend Caleb. The world forbids magic and magic users (witches) are burned at the stake or beheaded. Even being caught with herbs used by witches can be cause for immediate incarceration and ultimately death. Elizabeth truly believes, although her job is an ugly one, that it is the right path that she is on. She is just upholding the law after all. But then Elizabeth herself is caught with witches herbs and is jailed. Even though she is one of the greatest Witch Hunters the world has ever seen, her pleas are met on deaf ears. She is rescued by Nicholas, the greatest sorcerer the world has ever seen and the world's most wanted man. Surely they are evil and want her for some nefarious purpose, right?
From this point of the novel on, Elizabeth must face the truth about her mentors and her witch hunting. Who truly is evil? Is magic all bad? Is everything Elizabeth ever known to be true just an elaborate lie?
I loved this world and I loved the side characters in this book tremendously. There is a little, sweet romantic side plot between Elizabeth and one of Nicholas's men, a healer. Its not intense, and the book is not a romance novel. But it is a nice addition and I like that John doesn't fit the normal mold of most YA leading men. He is shy and a healer. He is kind of geeky and that makes him adorable and somewhat unique. I also really, really like Fifer. She could star in her own book, seriously. There are so many layers to her that are intriguing. George is another fun side character. This group is so unusual and gripping. The specifics to the magical abilities are also fun and entertaining.
I wouldn't say there is anything groundbreaking or shocking about "The Witch Hunter" but it a well written, fast paced and entertaining book. This author is one to watch for sure. I have been in a pretty big dry spell especially regarding fantasy novels, but this one still had the ability to stand out and entertain me. I will eagerly be on the lookout for a sequel.

Eh. Mostly derivative and predictable. Relies on rape as a plot device--a fact which I nearly missed given that I read the first chapter and then skipped to like page 70 to see if it got better. I might've DNF'd had I actually read those pages properly.
The writing is... fine. But sort of lackluster. As are the characters. The twists are predictable and the plot is too. I didn't mind it, but it's nothing to write home about. I probably would skip this. I'm not reading the sequel.

I liked it, but didn't exactly love it. I first heard about this book on a YouTube commercial where it depicted the book as mysterious and spooky. Unfortunately it wasn't either of them things, however, I still enjoyed the book as it was.

After finding out that she is now the most wanted person in the kingdom she is forced to make a deal with Nicholas: Her help for his help. During her adventure she is face with tough decisions that will cause life altering changes.

As stated before, I thought this book was going to be scary but it wasn't. Instead it turned out to be a teen/ya book, which isn't a bad thing cause it still turned out good but not great.
First off, I loved the cover of this book. I liked the plot it was adventurous, humorous, and fun. I enjoyed Virginia Boecker's writing it was smooth and very descriptive. The world-building was good but with a little more polishing it could be great. As for the characters, they kind of fell flat.
Elizabeth: I had mixed opinions on her. For being the best witch hunter she came off rather... amateur. She made tons of mistakes and seemed afraid of anything to do with magic. Also she sometimes came off cheesy.
John and George was bland.
Because the characters wasn't better developed I think that's why I didn't really feel much emotional attachment towards them. As for Elizabeth's love interest, I thought it was cute but the connection between them wasn't where I was like: Oh my gosh, I ship them!
Even though I thought it was entertaining and I do wonder what will happen in the next book, I'm not going to rush to read it.
