Summary

Journey to the magical world of Erthia in this exciting prequel to The Black Witch by critically acclaimed author Laurie Forest.

Before Elloren Gardner came to possess the White Wand of myth, the Wand was drawn to another bearer: Sagellyn Gaffney.

Sage’s affinity for light magery, a rare skill among Gardnerians, makes her the perfect protector for the one tool that can combat the shadows spreading across Erthia. But in order to keep the Wand safe from the dark forces hunting for it, Sage must abandon everything she once knew and forge a new path for herself...a dangerous course that could lead to either triumph or utter ruin.

Twilight meets Hunger Games in a fairytale land

This is an enjoyable read, heavy on the magic and teen romance whilst being one big, fat allegory for the human condition. Engaging and well narrated.

Brilliant

Really enjoying this series. Haven’t enjoyed a set of books like this for ages! Clever, original, well narrated, by all narrators.

Starts out strong, then takes a wrong turn

This series started off well and I really enjoyed the new take on the witch/mage theme. There is so nice world building and the themes of racism a intolerance are well handled. In fact this may be one of the few books I have read that touches on genocide.

Then I read the latest book in the series... and it was really hard gowing. Really, really hard.

*spoiler alerts*
First, I was really surprised by the complete change of tack - our lead characters are separated for no apparent reason. And then nothing actually happens at all. I mean nothing. Pages and pages and no plot or character development at all.

And oh my god, if she mentions his much she loves wood one more time... It's just strange how often it's mentioned, it's makes me cringe.

But I did finish the book and I'll read the next. Hopefully we will see a return to form.

Slow and my daughter couldn't finish it

The idea of this story seems great -and my daughter started listening with relish ….. but it is slow moving and so much focus on relationships that she wasn't able to get past a handful of chapters.
It's also a shame that the narrator doesn't seem to capture the same essence that Julia Whelan was able to.
