I have no words to say how amazing this excerpt was!! I truly give it 5 stars, when Susan Dennard says this is her best book in the Witchlands, she's not lying because this was everything I wanted in this book. I felt so good to see these characters I missed and love so much again.
I loved how the book was paced, it wasn't too slow nor fast enough. I really enjoyed the focus on Aedaun and you can really see his growth from book one to now Bloodwitch, he has changed as a character, I'm glad he acknowledges it in this book. One thing I love about these books is that they immediately pick up from where the last one let one, or at least somewhere close to it. For only the first 22 chapters that was included it had a lot of content from the first chapter to the last chapter that was included in this preview. I do have to say with the last chapter, it was so intense that when I reached the last page I tried sliding my phone to the right so fast, but when I realized it was the last page I was shook because I just needed more of Bloodwitch.
Throughout this excerpt I noticed that Susan's writing has changed massively and I'm so proud of that, you really see her growth as a author in this book. I can't wait for more from her in this series, and I cant wait until Bloodwitch comes out!! I absolutely need an arc or the finished copy to continue the adventure. Thank you TorTeen for the chance to review and read this.

Ahhh! This excerpt from Bloodwitch has me begging for more! Come on Susan Dennard.....please please please. Okay okay, I know it’s not her. But alas, I am dying to continue on.

Truthwitch and windwitch were such great stories with so much elemental magic that I can not contain my excitement for the new part to this series.

While I haven’t had a chance to read sightwitch yet, I feel like I need to bump it up on my list in preparation for the new book.

I can't wait to read the rest of this book! Seven chapters is NOT ENOUGH!! I forgot that this was an excerpt and got so upset when I got to the end. I am so invested in the Witchlands series and I can't wait to learn more about Aeduan!! I also love all of the tidbits from Sightwitch coming into play! The world that we are thrust into is incredible and vivid. The characters are so complex... Is it February yet?

Amazing. Excellent. Intriguing. I can't wait to read the full book! Each book in this series gets better and better and I have high hopes for this one!

I got an exclusive preview of Bloodwitch by Susan Dennard, and OH MY GOD! How am I supposed to wait until February 12th?! From the very first page, Bloodwitch swept me off my feet, my heart was racing... If you are a fantasy lover like myself who craves blood, action, and death filled with adventure, this book is for you.

I can't say much because I only read the sample, but I will say I am obsessed with Aeduan!
He is my precious cinnamon roll that needs to be protected at all cost!

I have been mildly skeptical of Dennard's Witchland's series. The first one rated in as just decent but the second one was substantially better, so I was greatly looking forward to this ARC. And...I have mixed feelings about Bloodwitch.

On one hand, Dennard's scattered characters are more or less interesting and most of the time she deftly handles the few events of the story well. Her writing is fun and engaging and my attention was easily kept. As someone who has followed Dennard's writing for awhile now, I certainly notice and appreciate the maturity of her writing style now.

Howrver, I do take issue with the plot. Nothing...really happened. This is such a filler book. It's an even worse Two Towers or Order of the Phoenix. This had no story except to string along Windwitch and the as-yet-untitled 4th book. There was no wrap up, no conclusion. It just ended. I re-downloaded it 4 times from Netgalley, certain that it had glitched, but no. Dennard and her publisher really did choose to just cut off the book in the middle of a scene, wrapping up literally zero plot threads.

I am so glad I didn't pay for this. The quality of the writing and the investment I had from the other books keeps me from giving this fewer stars, but I feel pretty cheated on this one.

I received my free ebook copy of Bloodwitch from Netgalley in exchange for a fair review.

Super quick excerpt, but an amazing lead up to what's in store next! I can't wait for the release of this book, Susan has never disappointed me.

So Baedun is making bad life choices. Poor thing. Doesn't know where to place his loyalties even though the answer is obvious. Iseult. All the way. CAHR AWEN, hi.

Safi's got problems and Habim's got secrets and there's dark magic afoot with Merik and his threadbrother and we please talk about a certain Lizl. Like, is she the same Lizl of Sightwitch? Is it? Because that book did a fabulous job of setting stuff up and the Witchlands books are so twisty.

We need more. We need so much more.

I cannot wait for this book, it seems just as good as the rest of the series if not better!

Thank you for allowing me to read a preview of it, it should tie me over until the release.

Susan Dennard is a fantasy genius!

Absolutely love this series and cannot wait to get my hands on this book. I wish the excerpt was longer!!!

This excerpt made me want to read the previous two books. Which I did. Promptly. I can't wait to find out what happens.

Wow what a great preview

I’m so happy to be back with Aeduan and Iseult. I’ve been craving more of their story since we left them in Windwitch and just from their few chapters in this preview. I can tell the book is absolutely going to deliver. Ahh the moments between them or so perfect because they live on a knife's edge. That will it go this way or won’t it. Plus just how much both characters have grown and changed from the first book. I always think of the light house.

After reading Sightwitch I feel even more invested in Ryber than I was before. I enjoyed her character in Truthwitch and Windwitch but after Sightwitch where she really shined. All I can think of is how I want More of her character. This was only a small taste in the perspective of Merik but the connections!!!!

Of course the other powerful ladies are not to be forgotten. Vivia, Vaness, Safi and Styx. I like how individual they are some seriously kick butt people. I can’t wait to see Vivia and Vaness cross paths.

I can’t wait to read more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Aeduan is my favorite. The story gives us his thoughts and feelings. We get to see parts of everyones' paths and brgin to get hints of how they are all tied together.

Seven chapters are not enough to quench my thirst for this series! Finally, Aeduan, my favorite character, has gotten his own book. Cannot wait to read the whole story!

I really should wait to read these excerpts until closer to the publication date. I'm definitely ordering this one since it's one of the titles that usually circulates!

This excerpt was fantastic as always with Dennards novels.
This latest installment in the witchlands series has me hook line and sinker with the countdown to release in my planner.
As is with the previous novels this one follows that familiar & loved Dennard style fast-paced with action packed writing and effortless descriptors bringing this epic fantasy to life in your mind.
Bloodwitch promises to reveal hidden truths and as always leave little gems of mystery along the way.
A great start to what will be an epic installment it was so good to reconnect with the characters again and see where this story will go.
Bring on release day!!
5 stars.


Many thanks to Macmillan Publishers and Netgalley for this excerpt.

I loved this excerpt. It was lovely to dive back into Dennard's world and reconnect with old friends. I will definitely be purchasing this latest witchlands novel upon it release

I was so into the story that I forgot that this was just an extract. This was amazing. I can’t believe how much has happened in the first hundred pages. Every character is going through interesting development and it is exciting to read the decisions they make. I’m especially looking forward to the budding relationship between Vaness and Vivian; Two powerful women with lots of responsibility maybe becoming allies? And I’m always so intrigued when reading Iseult and Aeudian’s chapters. I need to know more about Owl and how her character will influence the plot. Can’t wait for February, I already pre-ordered my copy and now that I have read this extract, I’m even more excited to have my questions answered.

This is just the first 178 pages of Bloodwitch, but damn it's good. Ending there was rude and makes the wait to February way too long. Bloodwitch feels like everything is falling together and it's incredible. I love it and cannot wait to read the rest.

I actually got a full arc before I read this sampler so please check.out that review but in short, loved this episode in the witchlands series.
