And oy, everyone just wants to talk and stare intently at each other ALL THE TIME. It becomes blatantly obvious that this is a harlequin publication–there is too much focus on who's dating whom. This book is about 6 hours longer than the previous, and it seems like that's 6 hours of content that should have been removed. Everything is dark, or blazing, or fiery, or flaming, or about lines and longing. The purple prose and repetitive descriptions increase significantly this time around, too. It really shouldn't have made it past the cutting floor. No new information is given that I can recall, and I found myself wondering what the point of it was. For example, an entire chapter is dedicated to walking from a dorm room to a dance hall. The Iron Flower also suffers from this, but to a larger degree. Situations were often melodramatic to the point of frustration. I enjoyed Black Witch, although it could be slow. As his own magic calls out to her, seeking to awaken a dark force within, Elloren finds it more and more difficult to believe that she's truly powerless, as her uncle always claimed.Īs she navigates the dangerous line of insurgency, Elloren must find a way to stay true to what she knows is right and protect everyone she loves.even if that means protecting them from herself.

While the Resistance struggles to fight back against the harsh rulings of the Mage Council, more and more Gardnerian soldiers descend upon the University…led by none other than Lukas Grey, now commander of the nearby military base. The last thing they expected was to be thrust into a realm-wide underground resistance against Gardnerian conquest. Dark forces are on the rise in this sweeping sequel to The Black Witch by critically acclaimed author Laurie Forest.Įlloren Gardner and her friends were only seeking to right a few wrongs when they rescued a Selkie and freed a military dragon.
