The Bound Witch by Ivy Asher

I loved this series.
The first book is my favorite, but they are all good.

The ending felt right but also a bit anticlimactic. It fitted with the more hilarious side of the series but let down the intense emotional side of the books, in my opinion.

I was disappointed about the Marx situation. It seemed forgotten by the end and I hated that. It felt so pointless. Just more emotional damage for me, I guess.

I just want more. I'm not ready to say goodbye to these characters. I want like an 800 page epilogue.

So I stupidly didn't know this was a trilogy, which, cool, cool, I picked up the other two and devoured them, and this one quickly followed. What a great freaking story, I was held in the authors grip, and she didn't let go, and man this book was a wild ride. The characters leapt off the pages, and made this an enjoyable treat.
the world the author created an cultivated was amazing, and seeing(reading) all the details was truly a treat. The character definitely grow from the outset, and while the ending of the book was kind of abrupt, it was just what I needed. I love these characters, and while I wish I could read about them forever, I know I cannot. If you love the witchy books, with killer characters, this is for you.

A great final chapter to this series filled with action, battles and cunning plans.

This was the book I really finally fell in love with Rogan and his relationship with Lennox. It's like she took all the tension he had and allowed him to just be him and happy with her.

Not to say they didn't have their problems and disagreements but the way they worked it out was definitely healthier... and steamier.

I thought the little twist at the end was clever and unexpected, and made me admire the strength of Lennox all the more.

I am sad to see the end of this series but I can't wait for more from the author.

3 stars for the series as a whole. The romance was unrealistic...literally the whole thing happens within the span of two weeks. Don't super understand if being "renounced" is so terrible how Elon and Rogan had customers?? Maybe they were humans I guess but...how did they help them? Idk I would've liked more detail I guess lol

I really liked this series. I wasn't expecting the ending, but the plot did feel a little rushed. I am however happy with the ending. I was hoping for more about the Osseus clan to come out but all is well I suppose. I definitely liked book 2 more than this one. I think it could have flowed a little better with the plot and how some of the characters devoted and played out.

 I still liked this book as far as what happens goes, but I didn’t like how suddenly Rogan is okay but hasn’t really done anything to redeem himself. 

I really liked the covers the books in this series had. 

I liked seeing what happens with Rogan’s parents, and the scene with the demons was interesting too, but I still felt like things mostly happen randomly. What I mean by that is that the main characters don’t really have to plan for anything or train and yet everything turns out great in the end. 

I liked Leni, but I thought that she should have made Rogan actually do something to redeem himself as it felt like he became a different character, one that I still didn’t really like. I would have rather Leni end up with someone she met in the previous book or even in this one, like Saxon or a demon. 

I liked how there were a few characters that came together to do something (even though it wasn’t needed), but I wanted longer scenes with them. Tad was still the best, and I started to like Elon and Marx too. Oh, the scene with Rogan’s aunt was so interesting too, because of the magic she did. 

I wanted to see more about what was going to happen with Leni and Rogan’s lives, what would the witch society look like now without the High Council, and I really wanted to see Leni’s training sessions with Cozen. 

I might try other books by this author, but I hope that they are a bit longer so more can be shown.
