Sightwitch by Susan Dennard
I’m not totally sure how to rate this. Mostly because I’m still a little confused as to what exactly happened. Which is a weird feeling and looking at reviews it just seems to be me. So clearly I missed something. Probably many somethings. I will most likely be rereading this before Bloodwitch next year.
When I understood what was happening I really liked it! But there was a bit in middle that kind of baffled me. Maybe I took to long to actually read the book? No idea. Or I listened to the other two books and read this one? My brain might have just not melded the spoken story with the written one?
I loved the expansion of Ryber and the world in general. Bummed we didn’t get more Kullen, he gets kinda fucked earlier on and I was hoping to get some happy Kullen before the world comes to get him. And I really liked the new information about how the world has gone to shit. And more about Baile. As a Bayley, I’m a big fan of her. And she didn’t seem super bloodthirsty here, though I could have been confused.
If I believe is half stars I would probably do 3.5, but I’m not feeling giving it a 4 until I reread it. I totally understood the end? No idea what about the middle confused me. Maybe I was bored?
I had no idea what to rate this on Goodreads and read it on March 18th, 2018. I am starting my reread of this probably tomorrow. I really think I was just kind of sick and it was midterm time. So I did not give this book the kind of openness books need for me to properly sink into them. It is July so I am clearly behind.
I might do a full Witchlands reread. If I decide to do that I will not reread this right away.
