Windwitch by Susan Dennard
4.0
Alriiiiiiiiiight.
So this book had me fangirling all over myself, basically. Windwitch picks up where Truthwitch left off; Safi going back to Marstock with Empress Vaness, Merick post ship explosion, Isuelt on the run from the Cleaved, and Aeduan meeting up with his father's contact. This book has all of our heroes' POVs, including a new one: Vivia, Merick's "evil" sister. We also meet a whole host of new characters (), and new relationships are built between old ones ().
One thing I didn't like (and this is me just being nitpicky) is the multiple POV in each chapter. We would maybe get 3 or 4 paragraphs from Safi's POV, then it would switch to Merick and/or Vivia for a few more pages, and then we catch up with Isuelt. It made it way to confusing and it didn't allow me to really enjoy each POV because we were constantly jumping from one to the next. The POVs converged more as the story went on, but it was hard for me to really connect with the characters early in the book because I wasn't even given the opportunity to connect.
Now the year long wait for Bloodwitch begins......
