Jinissa is convicted of witchcraft but this is where the journey begins. She is condemned to torture and death. This book sad but good. I enjoyed the love in this book I was surprised to find. The story kept me reading on and wanting more. I think this book is a good twist on a witch story. * I received this book from Netgalley--This is my honest review*

This was very easy read.
The characters had enough depth and the story was enjoyable.
I hope there is another book in the series.

Witch's Journey is the story of Jinissa, a young woman accused of witchcraft who is summoned to the king for questioning before she can be served her punishment. It is the responsibility of Lord Stephan to bring the convicted witch to the king. The "journey" in the title appears in many different instances throughout the novel. The actual physical journey to the king is the obvious one. Jinny herself goes through a self-discovery journey during the trip, trying to understand what her ultimate fate is as someone who has her abilities. The romance that (predictably) evolves between Jinny and Lord Stephan is another journey. The author did an admirable job of capturing these different journeys. While the author did take time for the romance to evolve, once it did, it escalated at a really rapid rate. I think readers will find themselves torn on how they feel about Lord Stephan. At first, he comes across as being a ruthless man who hates Jinny's people and, therefore, feels very negatively about Jinny. He won't speak more than two words to her and treats her more like an animal than a human being. As time evolves and he gets to know and understand Jinny, he becomes more forgiving and opens up to her. I just felt this whole evolution happened very quickly, making it harder for me to wrap my head around. At times, the pace of the writing dragged. Overall, it was a decent story.
