Darkwitch Rising by Sara Douglass
While I enjoy this series very much, I had trouble with the third installment; the first two novels in the series were wonderful examples of high fantasy within a rich and detailed historical setting. However, Darkwitch Rising almost seemed too convoluted, and had too many "twists" in it. I was distracted by the unnecessary plot twists, and I think the novel could have been wrapped up quite a bit sooner than the 725 pages allowed.
Even though this novel fell a bit short of its predecessors, I still feel the need to finish the series- I'll be taking a short break before I read the fourth and final novel.
I genuinely love the idea behind this series, but this was not my favorite. Towards the end of the novel I became quite intrigued. Unfortunately, the first 500 pages did very little to keep my interest.
