Sightwitch: A Tale of the Witchlands by Susan Dennard
5.0
4.5/5 stars!!!
Wow! This book was just amazing.
First of all, I loved all the illustrations – honestly more authors (and publishers) need to do this. I feel like maps and pictures add so much to a story and really help you immerse yourself more in the world.
I absolutely love Ryber as a character and being able to read more about her past (and about Kullen) was just eye-opening and WOW. There are so many things that all add up at the end...THIS IS LITERALLY A MUST READ. I feel like when Bloodwitch comes out, there's going to be a lot of things brought up that readers who haven't read Sightwitch might not understand.
I feel like I now need to sit down and think about everything, cause the plot in this series has gone from "I'm hooked" to "OMG IT IS SO COMPLEX NOW I LOVE IT BUT I'M ALSO CONFUSED AND I NEED ANSWERS AND I NEED TO REREAD THE OTHER BOOKS AND TAKE DETAILED NOTES TO FIGURE THINGS OUT."
The sections that were written through Eridysi's perspective were interconnected with Ryber's story really well. I loved learning more about her, since we don't get much in Truthwitch and Windwitch. This is literally the story of the Paladins, and Eridysi's role in it is so important. But not just that...after reading this, I've come to realize how important Ryber's story is to the rest of the series too. I thought she was more of a side character, but after this...EVERYTHING IS CONNECTED AND I'M IN SHOCK
If you haven't read this book, you're probably confused at this point lol
The only part I didn't enjoy was
Overall, if you are a fan of The Witchlands, this is definitely a must read! I now kind of want to reread Truthwitch and Windwitch and then Sightwitch again to prepare for Bloodwitch. I think we're in for some pain and shock. Also...forgot to add this, but KULLEN??????? I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS.

Spoiler
Eridysi's relationship with the General. I just didn't really feel like there was something there. The General just smiles and Eridysi is in love and things progress etc. etc. It felt kind of fast and rushed and like we didn't get the whole perspective. Or maybe it's just me...I'm picky when it comes to romance. And while Ryber and Kullen's relationship was built up really nicely, Eridysi's didn't feel the same way. Though, her sections of the book were shorter compared to Ryber's.Overall, if you are a fan of The Witchlands, this is definitely a must read!
