I've never read a Chapter Sampler on NetGalley before, but it was simultaneously an incredible experience as well as heartbreaking because I am left with more questions than answers once it is finished. Witchshadow is certainly not starting in the direction that I initially anticipated, but I am greatly excited by what will happen in the second half. All of the characters are in precarious situations, but Aeduan and Safi scare me the most because.. well you know.. Anyway, as always Susan's writing was phenomenal, and her characters are some of the most visceral that I have ever read from. She never disappoints! Obviously, I highly recommend it to anyone in love with female friendships, diverse representation, and magical worlds filled with chaotic-impending doom.
