This book is amazing. I ought my self a copy as soon a it came out because I knew I needed to know how it would end! Susan Dennard is a fabulous writer and I adore everything she writes. These characters are amazing.

I am absolutely thrilled to read the complete third installment of The Witchlands series! Susan Dennard has a way of writing interesting, intriguing, and lovable characters that is unparalleled to other authors. Her world building is phenomenal and her plots are always compelling. Aeduan is one of the characters of this series that I was most interested in getting to know better and I can't wait for this release!

Thank you to NetGalley and the Publisher for release of this book in exchange for an honest review!!

Lets just say, this books was a great addition to the rest of this series. There is really not a lot I can say because I don't want to spoil this book for those that have not read the series! I really enjoyed the world building.

I forget JUST how much I enjoy the Witchlands, until I read about the Witchlands. "Bloodwitch," the third book in the series, is the best of the series so far.

I have found time and again that many multi-installment book series lose their spark as the series progress, but this one does the exact opposite. The action is fast-paced, and split between numerous points of view, all of which are equally exciting and enjoyable. They're flawed, they're real, and did I mention the enormous amounts of good, old-fashioned UST for many of the story's couples? The world-building is superb, all the expansion of the universe and new insights into its mysteries being completely revelatory and engrosing. The tension is tangible, both the good and the bad kind, the twists coming in fast and furious, making the story completely unpredictable. And yet somehow you know you can trust the author to deliver, that all these separate agendas will one day convene into the finale of all finales.
If there is a picture illustrating the word "unputdownable" in the dictionary, it has to be one of "Bloodwitch".

Keep 'em coming, Dennard.

BLOODWITCH is the phenomenal third entry into THE WITCHLANDS series. An epic quest, brilliant characters, magic, politics, tension; this is the standard all high fantasy should strive to reach.

Absolutely loving this series so much! Thank you for the preview to this book and I am definitely buying myself a finished copy!

I absolutely love the Witchlands Series, and I cannot wait to finish this 3rd book! I love the witchery and world building that Susan Dennard implemented into this story.

First, the Bloodwitch is my favorite in The Witchlands series so far. SO SO SO GOOD:)

Second, for anyone who hasn't read Sightwitch yet, you really need to! It's going to fill in so many "Need to knows" for Bloodwitch.

I was unable to download and read the preview excerpt for Bloodwitch before it was archived. I look forward to reading a finished copy when I can get my hands on one.

Just when you thought the series couldn't get any better it does. It was so amazing to be given a small excerpt of this novel before it's release date! The only bad thing is the length, I need more now! I honestly can't wait to buy the full book!

Just when you think the Witchlands can't get any better, it does!! Baeduan really is just the most amazing thing ever, and this preview made me really hyped for the whole book (like I wasn't already hyped before.) Smeagle voice, "I needs it."

I haven’t read the first two books in the series, though they’ve been on my To Read List for years now, when the opportunity to read this came up, I had to jump at it. There are a variety of points of view we follow; Safi the Truthwitch, Vivia the Queen-in-Waiting of the Nubrevan throne, Merik a Windwitch, Iseult a Threadwitch and Aeduan the Bloodwitch. Each character is in dire situations that captivate the reader from the first page.

The magic system of these books was intriguing, from witches that can use magic to control the elements to people that wield unique magic like sensing the truth, controlling blood or feeling the Threads of people. The Threadwitch’s powers were slightly confusing since I hadn’t read the previous books, but I was still intrigued to figure out how it all worked. Some of these witches are incredibly rare like the Truthwitch and Bloodwitch, each the only person of their magic.

To save her people, Safi agreed to serve the Empress of Marstok, and now she must test each of the Empress’ people to find the rebels who plot to assassinate the Empress. Safi misses her Threadsister Iseult and is horrified by the punishments the Empress doles out on the liars of her court. Determined to be free, Safi puts her mind to buy her freedom without endangering her people. Safi was an interesting character, with her determined and strong personality and unique magic. Though a glorified slave, she passes witty quips with the Empress, making me chuckle at her bold humour.

Vivia has clearly gone through her own struggles as she attempts to provide and protect her people. If she wasn’t already stressed enough, she must deal with her father takes credit for her deeds and the awkwardness between her and her best friend, Stix. Moving her people into the underground bunker below the city, Vivia explores the expanses of the ancient hidden city while still trying to make diplomatic deals to provide resources for her people.

After the terrible events of the past instalments, where Merik’s best friend Kullen was Cleaved, becoming destroyed by his own magic and transformed into The Fury, a ferocious monster. The Fury pursues Merik and the rest of his crew across the land, determined to capture him, though he longs to kill Merik, killing him would mean The Fury would kill himself. Stuck in a stalemate, Merik can only run while the Fury snaps at his heels. As Merik’s situation becomes hopeless, he is drawn into a position he never expected. I enjoyed learning about the Cleaved and was desperate to see Merik escape his deadly situation, it was one of the most enthralling and exciting points of view in the book.

After chasing Iseult across the entire Witchlands, sworn enemies, Iseult and Aeduan, are forced to work together after the climactic battle of the previous book. Now charged with caring for a young Earthwitch girl called Owl, they travel in hopes of finding the girl’s parents all the while avoiding those who would gladly capture the Threadwitch. Despite the tenuous situation, Iseult and Aeduan are both developing feelings for one another while they struggle not to let their emotions complicate things. Their story and budding relationship were intriguing, from enemies turned allies to perhaps something more. Each was raised within strict organisations, and the reinforced behaviours make it hard for them to connect with each other, for example, Iseult’s tendency to control her emotions and school her features into a blank mask. Even with everything against them, I still hoped Iseult and Aeduan can be together, and I hope to see this in future books.

I loved this world and magic system paired with the diverse and exciting cast of characters. I’d heard this was a good series, but this book went beyond my expectations. The writing was enjoyable while the characters, though numerous and drastically different, were each developed and shown in-depth throughout the novel. I am excited to read the first two books, and I give this third instalment 5/5.

It was very cool to have a chance to see some of this title early. This story follows favorite characters from previous books with some additional perspectives as well. I enjoy this series and will certainly be picking up the rest of the book.

This was a great sneak peak into the newest book in The Witchlands series. It felt like coming home returning to these characters and this world. Now I am really eager to get my hands on a copy of the full book so I can finish what I started. These characters are all so perfect and it felt like this book might be one of my favorites in the series so far! I always loved the story of Aeduan and to get a book that is based around him and his story is perfect. I really like that each book has focused on a different character, hopefully the next book will be Iseult's story !!!

Can't wait to read the rest of the story but as far as I'm concerned this is the perfect beginning, and I'm already hooked!!!

Thanks to NetGalley for providing a preview ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This series has just gotten better and better. I'm honestly really looking forward to finding out more of what happens in the full edition of the third installment of this series. It was a short excerpt but for the fans, it would definitely made them super excited.

My Rating: 5 Stars

Guys. GUYS! Why the hell did it take me so long to read this series? Seriously, why didn’t anyone shove it into my face sooner? I read Truthwitch five days ago, and finished Bloodwitch last night. I seriously couldn’t put this series down. I took the books with me to work (drove my coworkers nuts – no shame), I slept with it on my bedside table, and I took Friday off so that I can meet Susan Dennard in person!

Okay, enough fangirling – lets talk about Bloodwitch. I enjoyed the first 3 books in the series (Truthwitch, Windwitch, and Sightwitch), but Bloodwitch really blew me away. Susan pulled out all the stops with this one, even including a very slow burn romance that had me swooning.

This installment of the Witchlands series focuses more on Aeduan and his backstory than any of the other novels. His story is tragic and explained so much about why his character does the things he does. This novel also followed some pretty serious character development for our favorite Bloodwitch, development that Dennard managed to write in a very organic way.

A lot of the time with multiple POV novels, I find myself wanting to skip ahead to read only certain POVs. In Bloodwitch, however, I enjoyed every character’s story and how they all joined together.

My Takeaway: Its hard to say more about the novel without revealing spoilers, but I honestly can’t say it enough – every book in this series just gets better and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

The excerpt was not long enough. This series is so richly imagined and I am very excited to read the full version of this book today!

It has been awhile since I last posted a book reaction to a series favorite.
If you have not yet read the first two books in The Witchlands series, I highly suggest that you do read them first (Truthwitch and Windwitch).

BEFORE READING:
My first impression with The Witchland series by Susan Dennard is a mixture of Assassin's Creed and A Court of Thorns and Roses series (by Sarah J. Maas). It is full of magic and action that I cannot put the book down.

Bloodwitch - the third novel in series, is one of my highly anticipated release for this year. After reading the first two books in the series, Truthwitch and Windwitch, I was very excited to learn that the third book will be release this February. I have grown to fall in love with characters of Aeduan and Iseult. So, when I received a notification from NetGalley that my request is granted, I immediately dived in.
WHILE READING:
OH MY GOODNESS!!!
From the moment I start reading the first page of the first chapter, I was HOOKED!!!
I was definitely at the edge of my seat (rather, my bed) as I read through their adventures, mostly Aeduan since this is his story. I practically flew through the pages as every questions are being answered, page by page. So much action! I love how Ms. Dennard's style of writing threw me off into a fantasy land. Imagine you are playing Assassin's Creed but with different characters.
I know I am being biased as I am very vocal about my love for Aeduan-Iseult ship. I was so happy with their character development. So much more is happening in this story.
AFTER READING:
Well, since I received an excerpt... I was devestated and it is driving me crazy!!!
I wanted to know what will happen next. Will the four of them cross paths again? Will Safi learn that Merik survived? Will Iseult and Aeduan fall of each other???

I received a preview of this book from NetGalley and it has me so excited for this book! While I did not get to read the entire book ahead of time, the parts that I did read got me excited and anxious for what is to come. Picking up where the story left off in Windwitch, Bloodwitch starts the action immediately and gets you ready for what I can only assume is something really big. This book already has me excited for what is going to happen and the next book in the series! If you've already read Truthwitch or Windwitch, pick up Bloodwitch on Tuesday and enjoy the ride!
