Witchshadow by Susan Dennard

3.0

I love the Witchlands Series. I’ve loved it from Truthwitch. This has been one of my most anticipated read since Bloodwitch ended….buuuuuttt….Wrichsadow has been my least favorite of the series….and it bums me out. It took me almost 2 months to read it. I probably would’ve given up on it if it were any other series. I will say there were things I still loved about this book though! Vivia & Vaness…chef’s kiss slow burn! I wish they had their own book though. I felt like their story could have been so much more without the amount of characters and lengthy chapters in this book. Isuelt’s journey of discovering who she really is and her growth. Isuelt is my favorite character and going on this journey with her was insightful. What I didn’t love….the lengthy different POV chapters. I ended up forgetting about some of our other characters. I think I was so confused for more than half the book with so many characters and characters within characters. Trying to keep it all straight was overwhelming. The pacing just didn’t do it for me…and I think that just had to do with the lengthy multiple POV chapters and the alternating time lines. With all that said…I am still eagerly anticipating the next book. More Aeduan & more Merik!!
