The Wolf and the Witch by Charissa Weaks

5.0

Special thank you to the author for a copy of this eArc!

Wow. This novella featuring Nephele and Neri is a stunning addition to The Witch Walker series.

I loved getting a deep dive into these two characters and their story. I've had a soft spot for Raina and Alexi, but these two are definitely vying for first place.

Character development:
Yes. I've said it once, and I will say it again, character development can make or break a book for me. Weaks delivers (no surprise there) on the character development. I love that this book gives us more of Nephele and her kickass, take no prisoners, sassy personality. And the insight into Neri and getting to know him as a more complex character was a delight. His morally grey, "I'd do anything for you" vibe won me over pretty quickly.

The plot:
The story does take place directly after the events of the City of Ruin and gives insights into how each of the characters is dealing with the aftermath. I like that it bridges what is happening and gives us a lead into what we can expect in Book 4 when we will have Raina's POV back.

I love that this series just gets better with every additional story and I cannot wait for the next installment.
