Absolute perfection! The Black Witch and The Iron Flower were amazing books! The Shadow Wand blows both books out of the water! I can’t even begin to put into words how happy I am with this series! I am recommending them to EVERYONE I know who loves to read! These are my newest obsession for sure! I thought I knew where my heart belonged in The Iron Flower but now I’m not so sure! I am hurt and happy and sad and terrified and thrilled and ALL the things! Thank you Laurie Forest for creating these works of art!
Damn. This book did not pull any punches. It is fast paced entry into this series that is full of twists and turns. I cannot wait to read what happens next!
Should have had trigger warnings, very triggering: sexual assault attempts
A must read for YA fantasy fans! The Black Witch series is one of my favorites and Shadow Wand does not disappoint!!

Okay, being completely honest, I did not like this one as much as the other two. I spent a lot of it questioning the author’s choices and reeling over information that seems sort of thrown in. It does, however, mostly tie together in the end. When you view it through the lens of a genuine war and how lives can be taken seemingly without rhyme or reason and from the viewpoint of a girl who has been heavily sheltered for her entire existence and therefore hit with new information at every turn, it makes sense. I don’t love it narratively, but I can forgive it. I’m upset that I didn’t really get to read about my favorite characters as much in this one, so I’m hoping they make more appearances in the next. Not in love, but it wasn’t bad and I plan on reading the next one.

Made me love this series
Okay I’m annoyed at the change in writing but I knew Yvan was alive & I like Lukas more.
Too many added side characters when there were already a ton of characters.
