What is it about? (Summary from GoodReads)
Before Safi and Iseult battled a Bloodwitch…
Before Merik returned from the dead…
Ryber Fortiza was a Sightwitch Sister at a
secluded convent, waiting to be called by her goddess into the depths of the
mountain. There she would receive the gift of foretelling. But when that call
never comes, Ryber finds herself the only Sister without the Sight.
Years pass and Ryber’s misfit pain becomes a
dull ache, until one day, Sisters who already possess the Sight are summoned
into the mountain, never to return. Soon enough, Ryber is the only Sister left.
Now, it is up to her to save her Sisters, though she does not have the
Sight—and though she does not know what might await her inside the mountain.
On her journey underground, she encounters a
young captain named Kullen Ikray, who has no memory of who he is or how he got
there. Together, the two journey ever deeper in search of answers, their road
filled with horrors, and what they find at the end of that road will alter the
fate of the Witchlands forever.
Set a year before Truthwitch, Sightwitch is
a companion novella that also serves as a set up to Bloodwitch, as
well as an expansion of the Witchlands world.
My thoughts:
I have no idea what to write in this review. I just want to let you all know that I loved this and that it is totally worth the read!
I just wanted to read this, since the witchland series is one of my favourite series! So I just needed everything I could get from this world.
In the beginning I wasn’t really sure how this book ties in with the rest of the series, not that I cared, but in the end it makes sense.
This book is written in dairy entries, and it works so well! I absolutely love how Dennard did this. It made the story feel very light, even though it wasn’t, but it still contained everything that happened. Also these dairy entries together with Dennards writing style makes the book read very easily!
Also I absolutely love the easter eggs in this book for the rest of the series!
So basically what I’m trying to say is that if you’ve read the series, please also read this, it is definitely worth it! And if you haven’t started the series yet, please do!
