I was not able to get this title read in a timely manner, but I very much look forward to reading this series. I have purchased the first book in the series, and plan to get the second one as well to read it at afterward. I am no longer requesting sequels at this time as they have been difficult to keep up with. Thank you for the opportunity to review this title, but I will not be reading it at this time.

Great to read the start of this book. I look forward to reading the full version.

This excerpt gave a good preview into world of Merik . It seem like a great continuation of the series and I liked learning more about Merik and his journey. The pace is and the writing are good and overall I think anyone that likes fantasy fiction will enjoy this book.

I am giving this a 3 out of 5 stars for the sampler of this book. I can not give it a final rating as I have yet to read the full book. It is another book on my TBR pile though!

I'd describe these books like a turning wheel, Dennard's protagonists shifting to focus and have drive via another character. Windwitch moves from Safiya as our leading character to Merik and his journey.

Dennard set out to play with perspective, to show how there is no clean line between good and bad, between villain and hero. And she pulls it off. By introducing new points of views, our judgments are balanced- everyone has a perspective. No villain believes they are the bad guy.

I haven't read book 1 yet, thought this was book 1 but it wasn't... so can't read this yet :( sorry!

This is quite possibly one of my favourite books. I look forward to adding it to a classroom.

This was a quality book by a great up and coming YA author. A well done high fantasy YA. 
The only bad thing is now I can't wait for Bloodwitch, the next book in the series. Packing was well done. Safi and her threadsister are on a search to get back to each other. It continues the narrative and tone from the first book while still drawing the reader in and revealing more of the hidden plot as you go. 

well done!

Susan doesn't disappoint in this follow up to her successful Truthwitch. A must read for all fantasy enthusiasts.

The excerpt is a great taste of what is to come in the sequel to Susan Dennard's Truthwitch. It's an excellent choice for fans of elemental magic and Lord of the Rings.

While I love the world of this series, I still can't help but feel overwhelmed when reading these books.  Even in this excerpt, I find myself focusing more on figuring out what everything means rather than being immersed in the story itself.  I feel like I'm reading for a test than for pleasure.  However, I do enjoy this world and the characters, so I'm excited to read Windwitch in its entirety and see if maybe it's easier to lose myself in the story this time.

Loved this book and cannot wait to continue to read it. The world and magic is wonderful

Since reading Truthwitch early last year, I have been counting down the days for the release of Windwitch. This excerpt, however, was not easy to get through. I wish there had been more of a refresher included, because I found myself scrambling more than usual to grasp the story. I felt inclined to re-read the first book in order to continue reading the excerpt. There were some moments in the excerpt that set my heart pounding, but the overall the story pacing felt slow and Merik and Vivia's chapters were hard to get through. Aeduan, Iseult, and Safiya are what kept me excited to keep reading. Truthwitch was one of my favorite books last year and I still very much look forward to reading Windwitch in its entirety, as well as the next installment of the series.

While the first in the series didn't quite win me over, I'm invested in several of the characters and was curious to try out the second book. So far, I enjoyed this considerably more: seeing more of the world and the characters and their interactions and the potential of both of these, as well as Susan Dennard's interesting and engaging writing style.

I'll be continuing the series to see how these progress further!

Really enjoyed this book its a great series that keeps building up I can't wait when the next one comes out

I instantly purchased Windwitch after reading this excerpt. The much anticipated sequel to TRUTHWITCH furthers the adventures of Safi and Iseult as they traverse a world of elemental magic and the bloodwitch hunting them.

The characters are vividly crafted, the romance swoon-inducing and the action is guaranteed to make your heart race! I can;t wait for the next installment. Susan Dennard never fails to deliver a rip-roaring tale that will leave you teetering on the edge of your seat.

Okay,,, let's get started with something. I absolutely hated Truthwitch, there was no world building whatsoever and I hated all the characters except Merik. So when I found out that this was his book, I was beyond excited. Now after reading like 100 pages? I am done with this series. These pages were so boring and took me so long to read, plus no action was present, I wanted to see some meeting between Merik and Safi after their kiss in Truthwitch, but nothing nada nada nada. the only thing I liked was Vivia's point of view and well that is to it. I am so done.

icking up where Truthwitch left off, Merick, Iseult, and Safiya have been separated. Almost killed, supposedly by someone his sister hired, Merick is lucky to be alive. He returns home as a man known as The Fury to rescue his people from a tyrant rule as well as find food trade for his kingdom. Safiya willingly goes with the Emperess of Cartorra, an Ironwitch who only recently wanted her dead, only to be kidnapped by Hell-Bards. Betrothed to Emperor Henrick, an old tyrant who is the last person she’d like to marry, the Hell-Bards have been sent to bring her back to him. The Emperor isn’t the only one, good or bad, seeking her out. Iseult has hired the Bloodwithc, Aeduan, who has been following them, to help her find Safiya before other bad men find her first. Will Iseult and Safiya find each other again? Can Merick save his people?

This is a fun, fast-paced read that was impossible to put down. The characters are well developed, likable, and mysterious. The plot is complex with lots of twists and turn and really pulls the reader into Safiya, Iseult, and Merick’s world. Fans of fantasy, adventure, and mystery will enjoy reading this book. They will, however, need to read Truthwitch first.

Truthwitch was wonderful and Windwitch sounds just as wonderful and I can't wait to read the full book.

This book was amazing! It is filled with an intensity that can only be described as mind blowing. This is definitely up there with Throne of Glass for me. The characters are so dynamic and face challenges that test them to their limits. Just when you think the tension will let up something epic happens. I loved this book and can't wait for the next ones!!
