A review by redcupbookclub
Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

4.0

I wasn't sure that I would like this book when I started it, but the story and the characters really grew on me. There were a couple of moments where the impulsive, unreasonable and general angsty-ness of the Safiya, made me want to throw the whole thing away, but once the action resumed, I got over it real quick. I like that there are a few social and political themes that come up and they are handled in a way that make sense to the story. And I LOVE the the romantic story line is handled with a fairly light hand...fairly. I don't have a firm handle on the magic system (meaning I am NOT sure how many types of witches there are and what they can do), but I am interested in continuing the series.
