This is to all my fans of Susan, and yes normally I go with the formal last name for authors, but when you’ve talked on Twitter, get her newsletters, and watch all the insta videos somewhere along the way one of my favorite authors turned into Susan.
The last few months got all topsy-turvey with the release date for Sightwitch and because of that, there was a huuuge outpouring of support for those of who love the Witchlands series. This made me lucky enough to receive the preview of Sightwitch.
Oh. My. Goodness guys. I love it so far. Due to the deadlines for applying to grad school being moved up on me I told myself I wasn’t allowed to read it until that was done. For good reason I sat down after work and read it as fast as I could.
This reads so much more as a mystery. Still fast packed, we are able to delve into the character of Ryber who is such an interesting character. She was much more of an enigma in the main books and here I feel as if I know her as closely as I know myself. And she is so lost right now, as am I because the preview of book ends… on a precipice of new information.
Sightwitch brings the readers into an entirely different part of the world of the Witchlands than we even knew existed. Seriously the world building in this series is ridiculous, as much to say that I’m still craving to know more, and how can there me more? But Susan has thousands of years of history packed into this series.
As always the writing is phenomenally gripping, but this time Susan brings us into the world through journal entries. And guys, the emotions claw straight at your heart. I love close up third person, but I am always so much more immersed in the feelings and the drama and the mystery when it’s first person. And Susan does it beautifully. It’s so wonderful to see how deep of a talent pool she has an an author.
I will say that this book was made to be in print. Not that I didn’t love being able to have it early and on my phone, because I almost started crying when I got approved, but because this tale is written like a journal and nothing but an honest to goodness book will do the trick. So please, go get it.
My pre-ordered book came tonight! And I can tell you that as soon as I get this post up I’m going to be diving into the book. As all other fans of Susan Dennard should.
Thanks to Susan, Netgalley, and TorTeen for a free preview in exchange for an honest review.
