Truthwitch by Susan Dennard

3.0

Okay so I was really really really excited to read this book but it ended up just being kinda mehhh for me.....I feel like I was just missing SOOOOO much information. There were just so many questions that weren't answered which would have help form the back story to the series as a whole. It was really hard to visualize the story, characters and setting in my head as I read and I thought maybe I just was reading too fast but I don't think that was it.

How do they become witches? Are they born witches? Why does everyone hate Iseult's people? Why was there a 20 year treaty in place in the first place? Who's going to be in the war? How does their magic actually work? Why do witches have to be marked? SO. MANY. QUESTIONS!!!

ALSO I wish we got more of Safi & Iseult's friendship!! I wish she explained how the Threadsister bond works more (or explained it at all really).
And the "budding romance" between Safi & Merik confused the hell out of me.....Like are they Heart-Threads or what? When you find your Heart-Thread do your threads automatically connect even if you don't want them to? What is a Heart-Thread? Lol. Again....SO. MANY. QUESTIONS.

Did I love it. NO. Did I hate it. NO. Would I read it again. Probs not.........I have a Windwitch ARC so hopefully it gets better!
