Windwitch (Witchland Novel #2) By Susan Dennard

Windwitch is book 2 in the Witchland series by Susan Dennard. The book takes around 2 weeks after Truthwitch, Safi is with the Empress of Marstok the powerful Ironwitch. She is questioning her decision to join the empress when the ship they are on is attacked and shipwrecked. Iseult is trying to find her Threadsister Safi, while on her hunt for Safi she comes across Aeduan the bloodwitch. Aeduan has taking a bounty on Iseult but everything changes when she off a deal ending them up working together, but can they trust each other. Prince Merlik is scarred and barely alive after his ship was destroyed now he has to find out who tried to kill him. Each journey is difficult as the world is on a knifes edge with war looming and trying to find out who you can and can’t trust.

I really enjoyed seeing more of Aeduan in this book, we got to learn more about his character and realise he is not who I thought he was in Truthwitch. The dynamic between him and Iseult is fun to read, both not doing what the other would expect of them. I really looking forward to the next book which will be called Bloodwitch so hoping for more Aeduan.

This book to me was about Merik evolution as a character, Merik world has crumble he has lost his best friend his threadbrother and now he has to deal with his disfigurement and who wants him dead. I still like Merik but he isn’t as prefect as he seems in Truthwitch. I’m interested to see what happens next for Merik as he find something out at the end of Windwitch that changes his direction.

Even thought Safi and Iseult spend this book separate they are still in each other thought and still connected, they have a friendship that everyone should have.

This book introduces us to character mentioned in Truthwitch , there was surprises as characters I thought I would hate I don’t. We get to see the world though their eyes which makes me understand them and why they act the way they do.

Susan Dennard has opened up the world even more with this book, new character, new connections and I can’t wait to see what happens next. I bet there are more surprised to be had, now I just have to wait till Autumn 2018 for Bloodwitch.

5 out of 5.
