How Did Truthwitch End?
Windwitch Review
What is Truthwitch about?
Truthwitch follows two main characters, Safiya and Iseult. Safiya grew up as a domna, expected to eventually rule her uncle’s estate. She’s a truthwitch who can tell a truth from a lie, a fact she keeps hidden to avoid being used politically. Iseult is of the Nomatsi tribes. She left her tribe to apprentice in the city but can't escape the persecution that she faces because of her culture. She’s a threadwitch meaning she can see the connections between people. The two best friends want nothing more than to live a simple life, though for them a simple life involves a bit of conning and thievery. But a failed robbery involving a Bloodwitch, and her uncle's involvement in the possible end of the twenty-year truce, throw that plan into chaos.
Basically everything?
This book is as much about the characters as it is about the story. Safiya and Iseult have such an amazing friendship. It’s so refreshing to read a book where the friendships are so much more important than the romance (not to say that there isn’t some great romance!). They’re also very different people which makes it easy for any reader to find one of them you can identify with.
I LOVE the magic in this book. While every witch falls into a category, they may have different strengths and weaknesses in that category. It’s a very practical take on magic with witches joining trades based on their talents. So much of the technology is magic based which is awesome. It’s just so cool seeing new types of witches and seeing the creative ways that they each use their power and that the world has adapted to the power existing.
I have nothing to say here. This book was just perfect.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
5 stars! The world, the magic, the story. And most importantly, the characters! I loved everything about this book. If you love YA fantasy, if you love female friendships, this is your book.
