Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

3.0

As a first book in what will obviously be a series, this did a decent job of world building and giving an understanding of the rules of magic without compromising story pacing or becoming a lecture. The characters were light and fun when they should be and multilayered and evil where appropriate. The two main characters are obviously set up with room for growth, which will be interesting to follow.

The story was a well written, fast paced adventure with a splash of romance. All in all, I found this a pretty traditional fantasy book. I’m looking forward to the next one.
