Book 2 of the House Witch provided a lovely story of how Finn and Anika grow their new relationship, Finn accepting that he has people to depend on, and the crew gearing up for the war ahead. This is my first time listening to the audiobook version so I was a little shocked by the different voices at first! But overall it was a wonderful narration and a fantastic story. Seriously, this book had me laughing out loud, jumping for joy, and crying for characters too.

Really loved this one. A solid second installment of the series and the pacing was better than the first. Planning to read the third.

More info on the content warning for death, obviously a fairly big spoiler for the story:

For a large part of the book, it seems like queen Ainsley is going to die from childbirth. She does in fact survive as does her baby.
