An incredible continuation of the Black Witch Chronicles. That being said

IF YVAN IS STILL ALIVE IM GONNA LOSE IT

Ellorens development continues to impress as she becomes a fully-formed character. The world building is so beautiful I wish I could be there!

4.0

It felt like it was written by a completely different author way worse than the previous books :(

Second review:
I have boosted in from 3 stars to 4, it was much better on the reread, it still not as good as the other books in the series.
