The Witches' Blade by A. K. Mulford

4.0

The Witches Blade is the second book in the Five Crowns of Okrith fantasy romance series by author AK Mulford. Each book in the series follows a different couple with this one focusing on Rua (younger sister of Remy from the first book) and Renwick, the newly appointed Northern King. The story picks up immediately after the first book finished, so I’d recommend reading that one first. Initially at first I was unsure how I’d adjust to a new couple, but I found that of all the books in the series Rua and Ren were actually my favorite. I’ve read other reviews which say they found Rua to be annoying but I enjoyed her flawed, darker take and her character growth. I also found the romance in this one to be more believable and less insta-love like Remy and Hale. I’m looking forward to reading the next book in the series which focuses on Bree who has been a favorite since book 1. Thank you to Netgalley, the publisher and author for an arc of this book.
