This series is one of my absolute favorite YA fantasy series, and Bloodwitch, the fourth installment did not disappoint one bit! Bloodwitch focused on Aeduan, and we get so much of his wonderfully broody self, and so much more of the agonizing (but totally great) slow-burn thing he and Iseult have going on.

I felt like Bloodwitch really continued on from Sightwitch well - the plot thickens so to speak. There was a lot of action in Bloodwitch, and we get a lot more time with some of our newer characters and side characters. All in all, Bloodwitch continues to expand on the amazing world building, diversity, and representation that’s been in the previous installments - and DEFINITELY left me wanting more!

There were a lot of things I liked about this book, and a few small things that frustrated me. I thought the world-building was cool and intriguing, and I enjoyed all of the characters introduced. At times I felt frustrated with characters’ decisions but that’s honestly just me being mad at their choices and not bad writing or anything. My only complaint would be that there seemed to be a lot of hinting and setting up for a larger, more complex plot and premise to the series - which interested me a lot - but at times made it feel like the whole book was a set up for the next one. All in all, I’m really interested to see where the next book goes - especially for Xander and Cassi who were my favorite characters. This book was an exciting start for the series, and I feel like the storylines and character arcs that come out of the future books are going to be really fun and I can’t wait to read them.

I loved the concept of this world - with the magical system of the crows. The story was really captivating and had a sweet romance. Tackling depression in a fantasy setting was also something that I haven’t seen before and really appreciated - although I wish it had been more deeply written about.
