Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1)
I really really REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK. It's probably the first very very hyped book that has gone so far above and beyond my expectations that I can't even DEAL (six of crows is another but this went EVEN ABOVE THAT FOR ME)I loved all the characters, their relationships, the plot the world building, the magic system, EVERYTHING so much. It took a little bit for me to get into this (130 pages-ish) but once that mark hit, I was super into it. As my friend Paige said (and so described my feelings

No, just no! This is easily one of the worse fantasy books Ive ever read. It does everything so badly; it literally embodies everything that can go wrong with the genre. Firstly, the plot is basic at best. The protagonists are being hunted, that is all. Secondly, the world is barely explained; there is no sense of history or the possibility that this world could have existed before the events of this book. Thirdly, the romance is a crappy case of love at first sight. Personally, I think it
me as Susan Dennard tries to make me feel a single thing about the plot, worldbuilding, characters, and romance in this damn book:This book was so ridiculously underwhelming. Its got a lot of series potential, but a lot of it is very Bland Fantasy™. If you want random countries were not invested in, and characters you'd like to love but truly dont, you'll probably like this. Mostly, I just felt this was super narratively all over the place because its trying so hard to be A Cool Fantasy Book it
Safi acted instantly as did the monk. His sword swished from its scabbard; her knife came up. She clipped the edge of his blade, parrying it aside. He recovered and lunged. Safi lurched back. Her calves hit Iseult, yet in a single fluid movement, Iseult kneeled and Safi rolled sideways over her back. Initiate. Complete. It was how the girls fought. How they lived. He was good. The best fighter shed ever faced. But Safi and Iseult were better. This book, to put it simply, is wildly
FULL REVIEW POSTEDCan I just get a big HELL YES because this has been one of the only books I have genuinely enjoyed in a while and im v impressed by susan Dennard, you got me interested, lady, im coming back for more(s) - The world, while confusing initially, is really thought out and developed - Culture, history, politics, magic, all really well done- I really enjoyed how the plot was intricate and the story revolved around that- There were multiple POVS (yes!!!) and they all became connected

Explanation Toward Books Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1)
Librarian note: Older cover of B00Z5Z5NNO. In a continent on the edge of war, two witches hold its fate in their hands. Young witches Safiya and Iseult have a habit of finding trouble. After clashing with a powerful Guildmaster and his ruthless Bloodwitch bodyguard, the friends are forced to flee their home. Safi must avoid capture at all costs as she's a rare Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lies. Many would kill for her magic, so Safi must keep it hidden - lest she be used in the struggle between empires. And Iseult's true powers are hidden even from herself. In a chance encounter at Court, Safi meets Prince Merik and makes him a reluctant ally. However, his help may not slow down the Bloodwitch now hot on the girls' heels. All Safi and Iseult want is their freedom, but danger lies ahead. With war coming, treaties breaking and a magical contagion sweeping the land, the friends will have to fight emperors and mercenaries alike. For some will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.Present Of Books Truthwitch (The Witchlands #1)

I'm so very sad to have to admit this, but TRUTHWITCH really isn't working for me. The world-building is hazy, therefore, I feel confused and frustrated. I keep trying to make order of things in my mind, and it's exhausting. The writing is not horrible but it doesn't flow. Many have mentioned fast-pacing, but I crazily feel like this is super slow because of how much it asks for our undivided attention and quick understanding... when nothing is really detailed or explained.DNF at 25%. Can II really really REALLY LOVED THIS BOOK. It's probably the first very very hyped book that has gone so far above and beyond my expectations that I can't even DEAL (six of crows is another but this went EVEN ABOVE THAT FOR ME)I loved all the characters, their relationships, the plot the world building, the magic system, EVERYTHING so much.
