The Fate of Magic is the second book in the young adult fantasy “Witch and Hunter duology. 

In this book we have the main characters Fritzi and Otto living in the Black Forest among the witches of the Well. They will need to complete a “bonding” ceremony as Fritzi is the champion of a goddess and Otto is her warrior. They will share magic and use it to defeat Fritzi’s villainous brother Dieter who despite his arrest in the last book is a threat to witches and humans everywhere. But they’ll need to find him first and make sure he doesn’t get his hands on the three elemental stones that will destroy the Origin Tree and give him uncapped access to magic and power. 

I really enjoyed the first book in this duology but this book was missing a lot of excitement and drama for me. There are a couple of scenes of action and fighting but the rest was a lot of detail I didn’t care about around the magical system, goddesses and who should and shouldn’t have access. It has a satisfying conclusion but I was hoping for the similar feeling I got from the first book.
