This is a beautiful book with a rich worldbuilding and lovable characters that made me more excited for the next book!

Sightwitch is another wonderful read from Susan Dennard. With SIGHTWITCH, Dennard shows just how much she masters different voices, as well as weaving in clues in a very, very smart way. I absolutely adored the ending of this book, and the glimpse of what's to come! Note: While this is book #0.5, it's best to read it after Truthwitch (#1) and Windwitch (#2). It has many hints that will make sense when reading the third full book, Bloodwitch.

Even though this book is set before TRUTHWITCH, it should be read after WINDWITCH because it sort of spoils an event in TW and therefore WW. This book has a very different feel and layout to the rest of the series. It's written as diary entries and scraps of annotated textbooks. The pictures are gorgeous, and gives a sense of layout in a way that the other books don't. I loved the maps in particular. It also jumps about in time from Ryber's present diary to excepts from her past diary and then thousands of years back in time to the paladins and the origins of magic. That was a little jarring at first, but it really fleshes out the history of the Witchlands and adds a depth to the challenges faced by the characters, and import to who they are. In particular, it really changes how I viewed Kullen and makes me very nervous about what Susan Dennard is going to do to him.
