Prequel book to the Witchlands series
AUTHOR: Susan Dennard
CATEGORY: YA
PUBLISHED: February 13th, 2018
GENRE: Fantasy
PREMISE: A companion story to the Witchlands series that goes into the history of the Witchlands world...
MY REVIEW: This book was...not really what I was expecting to be honest. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. It just took me by surprise. I was expecting it to be written like the series. It does have the setting and the great focus on female characters, like the series does. But this is told through various journal entries and various other ways. It's very visual, so I don't recommend going for the audio version, if there is one out there.
As it is also a novella, it is shorter then the other books and goes by much quicker. If you don't read this one, you probably won't miss out on anything major. It just is mostly a nice deep dive into the magic system and gives some background info that might make your reading of the other books more interesting.
If you are a huge fan of the series, definitely pick this one up. At the very least, it helps with the waiting for the next book. Which is not coming out until 2019 now. ;pouts;
WHO SHOULD READ: fans of the Witchlands series
MY RATING: Four out of Five nice, but not terribly necessary, prequels
