The Bitterwine Oath by Hannah West

2.0

*A Thank you to edelweiss + for allowing me to read this. This is my fair and honest review*

Due to the synopsis I had pretty high expectations for this book unfortunately it did not deliver. For me, the book just took way too long to start. I was about 33% in before anything remotely interesting happened. It was because of this that when the book had it's interesting moments I was not as invested as I felt I should have been.

This also took me way too long to read because I kept stopping and switching to other books that could hold my attention. I did not mind the characters but none of them really stood out to me too much. Natalie and Levi were a bit bland to me, but I did enjoy the "flashback" scenes and fictional book inserts. Surprisingly for a book about witchcraft not a lot of spells and magic until the end.

Overall, Not a bad book just not my Cup of tea, but it might be yours.
