Witches of the Dead Kingdom is brilliant! I've read and enjoyed the author's work before, but this first book of her new series is AMAZING! A mix of Welsh mythology and modern-day witches, all set in Melbourne. Incredible characters and a truly exciting plot.
I'm a bit smug about guessing plot twists because I'm usually right (modesty flies out the window), but I was utterly surprised by the events that unfolded here. I loved that. Stories can get a little predictable and repetitive, especially if they include characters from folklore, but the personal touch of each author makes them shine. I'm happy I found this book.
