I loved this one but this gets further into the things that happened in the first one and has a very early Holocaust feel from the Gardnierians

This book made me so emotional.  It was a tough read. I just need Elryn to belong somewhere. It dragged for a bit around 60-70%.

Wow…. Just wow.

I enjoyed The Black Witch, I *loved* this! 

This sequel is everything that a sequel should be and more… I fell more and more I’m love with the characters with every page…

The feeling this book ignites is sitting in front of a warm fire with an amazing hot cup of “something” on a cold winter night…being warm and cosy! 

I just love how this story is progressing and how amazingly detailed and intricate the plot is woven together with the fantastic character development! 

Really one of the best books I have read in a while… it had me laugh out loud, audibly gasp and squeal, ugly cry and give up sleep… all the qualities that make a book instant 5/5⭐️

I had a lot of fun reading/listening to this.

I was wondering if anyone of importance was going to die. I really don’t mind if main or important side characters don’t die in stories like this; I don’t care that it’s not realistic. The deaths were sad but the genocide hit me hard. That part was very difficult to read.
