My Rating: 5 Stars

Guys. GUYS! Why the hell did it take me so long to read this series? Seriously, why didn’t anyone shove it into my face sooner? I read Truthwitch five days ago, and finished Bloodwitch last night. I seriously couldn’t put this series down. I took the books with me to work (drove my coworkers nuts – no shame), I slept with it on my bedside table, and I took Friday off so that I can meet Susan Dennard in person!

Okay, enough fangirling – lets talk about Bloodwitch. I enjoyed the first 3 books in the series (Truthwitch, Windwitch, and Sightwitch), but Bloodwitch really blew me away. Susan pulled out all the stops with this one, even including a very slow burn romance that had me swooning.

This installment of the Witchlands series focuses more on Aeduan and his backstory than any of the other novels. His story is tragic and explained so much about why his character does the things he does. This novel also followed some pretty serious character development for our favorite Bloodwitch, development that Dennard managed to write in a very organic way.

A lot of the time with multiple POV novels, I find myself wanting to skip ahead to read only certain POVs. In Bloodwitch, however, I enjoyed every character’s story and how they all joined together.

My Takeaway: Its hard to say more about the novel without revealing spoilers, but I honestly can’t say it enough – every book in this series just gets better and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

The excerpt was not long enough. This series is so richly imagined and I am very excited to read the full version of this book today!

It has been awhile since I last posted a book reaction to a series favorite.
If you have not yet read the first two books in The Witchlands series, I highly suggest that you do read them first (Truthwitch and Windwitch).
**I received an electronic copy of an except from TorTeen (via NetGalley) in exchange for my honest opinion. Please note that all thoughts and opinions about this book are solely mine. Thank you NetGalley and TorTeen!
BEFORE READING:
My first impression with The Witchland series by Susan Dennard is a mixture of Assassin's Creed and A Court of Thorns and Roses series (by Sarah J. Maas). It is full of magic and action that I cannot put the book down.

Bloodwitch - the third novel in series, is one of my highly anticipated release for this year. After reading the first two books in the series, Truthwitch and Windwitch, I was very excited to learn that the third book will be release this February. I have grown to fall in love with characters of Aeduan and Iseult. So, when I received a notification from NetGalley that my request is granted, I immediately dived in.
WHILE READING:
OH MY GOODNESS!!!
From the moment I start reading the first page of the first chapter, I was HOOKED!!!
I was definitely at the edge of my seat (rather, my bed) as I read through their adventures, mostly Aeduan since this is his story. I practically flew through the pages as every questions are being answered, page by page. So much action! I love how Ms. Dennard's style of writing threw me off into a fantasy land. Imagine you are playing Assassin's Creed but with different characters.
I know I am being biased as I am very vocal about my love for Aeduan-Iseult ship. I was so happy with their character development. So much more is happening in this story.
AFTER READING:
Well, since I received an excerpt... I was devestated and it is driving me crazy!!!
I wanted to know what will happen next. Will the four of them cross paths again? Will Safi learn that Merik survived? Will Iseult and Aeduan fall of each other???

I received a preview of this book from NetGalley and it has me so excited for this book! While I did not get to read the entire book ahead of time, the parts that I did read got me excited and anxious for what is to come. Picking up where the story left off in Windwitch, Bloodwitch starts the action immediately and gets you ready for what I can only assume is something really big. This book already has me excited for what is going to happen and the next book in the series! If you've already read Truthwitch or Windwitch, pick up Bloodwitch on Tuesday and enjoy the ride!

I am a huge fan of the Witchlands and couldn't be more happy about the addition of this book. The sneak peek was a perfect mash up of bringing me back into the world as well as starting off on a new adventure.

I love the format of following all these different characters with interlocked stories that are still seperate as each of them have their own agendas, feelings, and complications arise.

Though the story has a very vast world the driving force to this action packed series is of course the characters that each book is named after. Coming into a book called Bloodwitch you would almost expect the story to center around just Aeduan, but truly its the crew as a whole that it surrounds but the biggest character arc lies with its naming character. Already I can tell that Aeduan must face the idea of himself being labeled a monster. You can see this being a big driving factor as it was never really quite brought up in previous books and he has quickly become many peoples favorite characters. Where as we have characters who were the golden boy in the first book, Merik we find enduring suffering and torture, we still adore poor little Aeduan.

I loves this excerpt! I had a bit if a difficult start with it, after a year away from the series I had to recall a lot to find seemlessly back into it. But then it took off and one thing after the next happened and I could not put it down.

I got the impression that the chapters where a bit shorter than before, but it was perfectly fine and since we now have a lot of characters to cover it made sense to shorten the chapters.

The writing stile was as beautiful and insistent as ever and I loved to see my favourite characters again.

We got to see a bit more of the strong women in this series, learned a lot about Marstok and I loved the chapter from Stix's view. It is just exciting to see the hints from Sightwitch come into play and get an almost clear picture of what is to come.

Basically I loved everything about this excerpt and can't wait to dive into the book when it comes out in a few days.

I highly recommend this series it gets better with every book and contains all of my favourite fantastic elements.

I have loved this series since the begining and i still love it. I just can´t get enough of Aeduan, Iseult and Owl. I feel like we are seeing more about who Aeduan is and what he feels for Iseult. I also really enjoyed Vivian's arc and all her striggles in becoming who she is and being empowred.

Dennard continues to gve strong and complex female characters that fight for frindships and for being them selves, no matter the consequences.

Thank you for allowing me to get a preview of on of my favorite series! Susan's storytelling improves with each book. She adds so much emotion and excitment to her stories making it that much better. I cant wait to read the rest of the book soon!

I apologize. I did not realize this was the third book in a trilogy. Being so, I should not review it without having read the first two books. Based on the success of the first two books. I did rate the excerpt highly (plus again, taking responsibility for my error).

I received a copy of this from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This was by no means long enough, in my excitement in being approved to review this I didn't realize it was a PREVIEW so imagine my surprise to turn to the next page ... that wasn't there. I'm so excited to review this in full once I have the complete novel in my hands.

I loved that the opening scene is from Aeduan's childhood, I honestly teared up and thought it explained so much of his character development and personality. I also love having chapters from his pov ... basically the more Aeduan I can get the happier I am.

I loved seeing Iseult and Safi again though I really just want them reunited because I adore their friendship.

Full review to come though I can already tell this book is going to be absolutely amazing and a great addition to the Witchlands series

Something was wrong with the formatting for this one. Most of the other books I've had sent directly to my kindle worked fine, but this was so messed up it was actually unreadable. Anyway, I loved the first books in this series, so I'm sure I'll love this one too, but I am disappointed I couldn't read this excerpt.

This is the book I have been waiting for from this series. The pairings were better than in previous books, but this could be because the stakes were raised a lot more. I'm just truly satisfied compared to how I felt when finishing Windwitch. Susan Dennard gets better every time.

Thank you, Net Galley, for an advanced copy of this book.

Oh my! I want more! Can't wait until the whole book is out. I'm so excited to continue on with this world, this story, and these characters. What I've read so far is awesome. Aeduan and Iseult! Love their story right now. I can also tell how the writing has improved. Everything just seems more...smooth. I need the book, NOW!

I was provided with an eARC sample of this book in exchange for a fair review.

This sample just makes me SO READY for the rest of the book! I cannot wait!

This got me so ready for the physical book! I loved seeing Aeduan as a child and not in control of his powers yet. I’m also looking forward to seeing where his relationship with Izuelt goes. But also since this is only a preview we only got to see a little of what’s happening with everyone else and I need to know more!

I really enjoyed the excerpt and I cannot wait to read the full book. Picking up where Windwitch left off, Bloodwitch follows the ensemble cast introduced in the series with a focus on Aeduan. One of the best parts of this series is how interesting and well-defined all the characters are. It’s fast-paced yet balanced, full of action while never forgetting emotion, and just an amazing adventure all around.

Huge thank you to Macmillan-Tor/Forge and NetGalley for giving me the opportunity to review this book!

I first started the Witchland series back in 2017 and I’ve eagerly awaited each new book since the first but I was so beyond excited when I was given the chance to read a preview excerpt of this one that I dropped everything else I was in the middle of and started reading it at three in the morning!

Full (spoiler-y) review here: http://wmsreads.tumblr.com/post/182498153907/

I have been anxiously awaiting this book for a while now. Aeduan has been the most compelling character in this series from Chapter 1 of Truthwitch. The clues in Sightwitch that play out in this book gave a lot of interesting dimension to this story. As with the first two books in this series, Safiya's story is the least interesting for me. I feel like I am slogging through her story at times to get back to Aeduan and Merik. I am in awe of the scope of the planning that must have gone into this story! The way it all weaves together is pretty cool. Now I just have to wait a little bit longer to get the rest of this book!

The third book in the Witchlands series.
This excerpt was brilliant it had me wanting more! I can not wait to delve back into this world and see whats in store!

AHHH this was sooo good!The preview really drags you into the story and definitely leaves you wanting more. I cant help but hope for a happy ending for Aeduan, but I know how Susan likes to leave her books on a cliffhanger. The writing is sublime, as always and I love how more characters get POV's with each book. Will definitely be picking up the book when its released.
