Truthwitch by Susan Dennard
4.0
Everyone was talking about this book last year, and since the sequel was just released I decided it was time to read it!
Writing
The writing is really good. Some scenes were especially vivid!
Story
The story itself is nothing special. It’s the execution and the world around it that make this book interesting.
World
You can tell there was a lot of work on the world. The problem is, it reads as a second book in a series, meaning that fictional terms and places are thrown around as if you know what they mean. And you don’t really unless you constantly refer to the map and mind every detail.
Characters
The characters have an amazing dynamic. The main focus is on a female friendship, and all secondary relationships are interesting and well developed!
Conclusion
It took me a while (maybe around a 100 pages) to really go from “vaguely intrigued” to “I want to know everything!!!” It has some issues on terms of comprehension and ask a lot of work from the reader at first, but I think it’s more than worth it! All in all, it was a very pleasant read, and I’ll pick the next book soon :)
