– Truthwitch is a story of a thread sister both trying understand there powers and the way to live. Safia is a truthwitch , that is the one that can find if a person is speaking truth or a lie.
But her power comes with trouble and a lot demand for every ruler wants to have her in their confidence. Will she find her freedom ?
Whereas, Iseult who is a thread witch is still finding a way to understand what she actually is and meant to be.
PLOT
a world so intricately written that one can feel a part of it. the whole magic system was new and well crafted.
i loved how different and detailed the power of different witches were. And a variety of them to count.
but the book will be remembered for its characters. They were just so real.
the book has a slow burning romance which I loved. Those parts were my favourite to read. It was as if the conversation was a part of me and I was a part of them.
– i liked the narrating style of the book, it was as if it was an old legend being narrated to me as i sit there listening to them on that very spot where the action took place.
—
the plot is nevertheless action packed and it is as if the trouble is seeking our characters from all the four sides.
CHARACTERS
characters were just so previously precise. I loved how the witches had a specific power which made them unique from one another.
I loved the bond between the thread sisters – Safia and Iseult
the way they knew how both of them complimented each other. how they felt half of them in other ones absence.
similarly,
I loved the bond of friendship and care between the thread brothers – Merik and Kullen
they knew what they are capable of , they knew what other wanted more than anything. And I loved how they understood each others need and stood for them despite of all.
And of course , the bloodwitch character was unique yet interesting. I think we will read more about him in the coming books.
And being a subscriber to @susandennard newsletter – I know a book ‘ bloodwitch ‘ will be coming soon.
and among other side characters , I liked the character of Everen – the monk.
THEMES
there are plethora of themes in this book.
– friendship
– love
– war
– power
And they all are finely knitted.
THE WRITING STYLE
is visualistic and dramatic which keeps the audience engaging.
it is as if someone is narrating a documentary.
LOW POINTS
now coming to some low points.
– just because this world was new to me, it was hard and a lot more confusing in the starting to comprehend it.
but is got clearer as we read through.
Even though, I feel it is a book I will want to re-read for it will be of more impact in the second attempt.
– the whole was confusing at first , that I actually thought , if there could be a guide book available, so one can read the intricate details more precisely.
– but I know by not narrating the system in one go, the author is trying to unfold its different layers on the go, which is fine as vomiting out a lot of information in one go might lead to indigestion.
– also please keep a dictionary handy, as the author uses excellent vocabulary skills.
