bella613 's review for:

The Black Witch by Laurie Forest
4.0
adventurous emotional tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

This is pretty well done, and fairly deep for a YA fantasy book. 
I think the naive ignorance and bigotry unlearning of the main character is written convincingly, in a way that makes you care deeply for her. The political stuff is simplified and predictable, but still motivating. 
Obviously I love Diana.
The ending was terribly abrupt and I would have been angry about that if I couldn't immediately just start book #2. But I did so it's fine. 

I think I'm going to listen to book 2 then book 1.5 and work in the prequel later. 
BTW saw this on my friend's Instagram story so shout out to him for the rec.
