This was a perfect follow up to the first book, and I’m so grateful I was approved for an arc. It was scary and leaning into horror territory butdone fantastically. I really enjoyed the dual pov here. The romance was great. The villain is truly the worst which is great. It was fantastic!

Thank you Netgalley and publisher for a copy of this eARC.

My oh my did I have a good time reading this book! Our characters are in constant danger. The villain is truly evil!!! If it wasn't for the romance, this could easily be a horror book with that guy! (Check the trigger warnings.)

The magic system is solid ( I liked how religion was applied) and world building needs some work in my opinion. (There was some info dump on the past history) I would have also liked more on the characters.

BTW Liesel's stories are the best!

Brilliant!!! I can't tell you how much I enjoyed this book and The Night of the Witch. This was a great conclusion to the duology. The writing was amazing. So much history in the story regarding the Germanic witch trials. The history was blended beautifully with the fantasy story line. The growth of the characters and their relationships was well done. I would love to see more books in this world exploring some of the other characters.

I was super excited after reading thr synopsis I was super excited for this and it didn't disappoint! I loved the story, the world building and meeting the different characters. I felt completely immersed in the story and couldn't stop reading it.

The Fate of Magic by S. Raasch is the sequel to Night of the Witch, book one in Witch and Hunter duet.
This is not a stand alone, the story picks up immediatedly where the previous book was left off. Set in the 1590ties in Germany, Fritzi and Otto barely escaped and are now on to new adventures. A wonderful story written in dual pov, a view that I enjoyed very much so, Witches, magic, hexenjäger, verbotenes at a time where witchcraft is verboten and gets bestraft. An intriguing read that had me in suspense from start til the very last page. Masterfully crafted and literally unputdownable.

Darker and more witchy than most witch based series out there. Love Sara's writing and enjoy this series immensely

The Fate of Magic is the second part in the Witch and the Hunter duology. It picks back up after Night of the Witch ends, which seemed to have been tied up pretty nicely except spoiler alert, the villain was not dealt with as well as they had thought. Fritzi and Otto have to set out to try to stop Dieter from gathering goddess-blessed stones that will help him gain more power and destroy the Origin Tree, a tree that safeguards all magic. Fritzi's chapters worked better for me than Otto's chapters, which I remember from the first book, and the ending felt a bit rushed- I actually thought it was a lead up into a third book until I got to the last chapter. All in all I think this sequel will be enjoyed by the fans of the first book.

This was a great continuation to the first book. I absolutely adored night of the witch and I was super excited when I saw that I was approved to read the sequel. It was action packed, the plot keep me in my toes and the romance was as wonderful as it was in the first book. I can't wait to have it in my hands.

I loved this sequel to Night of the Witch. It answered questions I had from book 1 and kept my attention through out the entirety of the book. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed reading this book, I tend to not enjoy reading the second book in a series but that was not the case here!

‘The Fate of Magic’ by Sara Raasch and Beth Revis picks up right where “Night of the Witch” left off. Again, we are in Germany during the height of the witch burnings. Fritzi and Otto are about to be bonded as champion and warrior and not a moment too soon as it appears that Deiter is not dead as they had assumed and he has definite plans for his sister and his cousin, Leisel. The action is pretty much non-stop and for the most part, the story moves along at a good pace. There needed to be a bit more character development for some of the side characters so the reader could actually care about their fate. A duology should finish with a complete story and this one did not disappoint. If you enjoyed the first book, you will certainly enjoy this one. It is most definitely not a standalone, so be sure to read “Night of the Witch” first. Thank you to NetGalley and publishers for the advanced ARC

This was such a highly anticipated release for me after loving and obsessing of Night of the Witch last year!

Short Synopsis:
FATE takes off where Night of the Witch left off. Fritzi is a champion. Otto is her warrior. There’s lots of love and magic. And I won’t say anything more since it’s book two!

My Thoughts:
I probably should have reread book one to refresh myself on the characters, but I was just too excited to get into it. It took me a bit to settle into the story (but that’s on me and my crap memory of books). But once the action started, I WAS HOOKED. Duologies are my favorite in fantasy books. It gives us more time with the characters and stories without dragging anything out. And I love how Beth and Sara wrote a beautiful ending to Fritzi and Otto’s story.

Thank you to NetGalley, Sara Raasch, Beth Revis, and the publishers for allowing me access to the e-Arc.

I have really enjoyed this duo-logy. It’s been a fast-paced story through most of the books. There is so much that happens in this last book in the duo-logy. It’s definitely darker than I am used to but I am a sucker for a witchy story.

I highly recommend it! Please, check trigger warnings. Do not take them lightly.

*Thank you NetGalley for the ARC in exchange for an honest review* This book was really good! Similar to the first book, I struggled a bit adjusting to the speed of the book. It was constant action with very little filler section, but I think it helped to keep the story interesting. I appreciated the authors putting in an effort to make the climax of the book feel important throughout and somewhat inevitable. A great read overall!

The story picks up a few months after "Night of the Witch" ends. Fritzi has been chosen as champion for one of her gods and Otto is both her beloved and protector. As they both try to work toward letting "wild magic" be available to everyone, they face many obstacles. Other gods, witches, and a person from their past all work to keep this from coming to fruition. Will Fritzi and Otto compete their task and will they both survive the challenges ahead?

I enjoyed the story line over both books. I felt the ending was a bit rushed, but still satisfying.
