Loved Dragonwitch! The story gave us a little more insight into Imraldera and Eanrin's story. Ending was fantastic so I won't give it away. I really enjoyed the backstory for Hri Sora and how a whole new religion sprang up after the defeat of the Wolf Lord. I really enjoy the way Stengl develops the different characters. Makes you love them all the more! I highly recommend this book and any other book Stengl has written. She intertwines the stories in such a way to keep you fascinated the entire time. And if you are like me and pick one up out of order, you are never lost. All right, well I have not actually read any of the books in this series (although I do plan to), but I am a sucker for Fantasy. I am used to reading out of order, so I did not think it would end up being a huge deal. For the most part, it was not, but there are places and times where I felt lost. I am only assuming that is due to not following from the beginning. I’ll also admit that I didn’t realize it was Young Adult (I was told, however, the sign-up and actual tour date spanned months), but I read plenty of YA, and enjoy the genre. However, you can’t pull that from the blurb alone. It just shocked me a bit in the first chapter, the scene with the scholar because up until then, I could not really gauge the age of the character.Anytime I review a series, I try to keep spoilers to a minimum. With fantasy what draws me in above all else are the worlds authors create. From the creatures, to general life, and how things work, I cannot get enough. There were no holes found within the world itself, but names were a bit tough to wrap my head around. It is probably nowhere near correct the way I’m saying it, but it’s laughable to see Mr. J and I fight over it. Overall, we enjoyed the world and the various creatures.Plot. This is where I started to get lost and Mr. J struggled a bit too. There are multiple storylines, which is normal for fantasy, but some readers who aren’t used to this style might find themselves lost or having to slow down their pace. I can typically knock out fantasy novels in one or two days, but this one took me longer. Again, I think that I should have started at book one (and most readers probably have), at the very least you ease into the world slower and you get to learn the writing style at the same time. Still, I think it's a keeper and the story held my interest.I’m not familiar with Christian Fantasy, or what that entails, but this book is recommended for those who enjoy fantasy and definitely for those who have followed the series.
