"Truthwitch by Susan Dennard is the perfect series to get middle schoolers interested in reading due to its highly addictive plot line and easily understandable writing. As the time limit on a truce nears, the Witchlands composed of three…

I was looking for an audiobook and this was there. It took me forever to remember which girl had which power and which history. I am also still not sure the difference between the different ethnicities/races/kingdoms. I'm not sure if this…

On reading a few pages, found it was too juvenile. It wouldn't be fair to the author to give it a rating as I'm not in her target audience.

This book managed to check all the boxes of my YA fantasy dream list. There was an awesome friendship between two tough-as-nails girls. There was a chapter focused on diplomats and international treaties. TRUTHWITCH had pirates and…

The frustrating thing about the two protagonists is that they have delusions of being swashbuckling survivors, but the fact is that they're not that competent and this continued existence is attributable to efforts by family and friends…

I LOVE when a book lives up to its hype (at least for me). I won the hardcover, but listened to the audiobook because the narrator is fantastic with accents and voices. And she did not disappoint with this one! I hope she narrates the…

One of my favorite fantasy novels. It has strong female friendships and a clever, exciting story line. A great read for fans of fantasy, Game of Thrones, etc.

Truthwitch was thrilling and full of excitement. The uncertainty of what Safiya and Iseult will go through next captivated the reader. Safiya fon Hasstrel is Cartorran nobility, she also happens to have a very valuable and powerful…

As with any series, it can take a while to pick up all the new terms, places, and characters/names. While this book took me a bit, I became quite comfortable with the style and vocabulary. I picked this up because I saw it recommended in…

Truthwitch describes the tale of Safiya fon Hasstrel's and her threadsister's, Iseult, escape through the Witchlands as they are tracked by an invincible Bloodwitch, who wishes for revenge. The duo, accompanied by Prince Merik, a Windwitch…

I have to disagree with everyone who loved it. I thought this book's plot was silly and the characterization was shallow and flat. DNF after about 60 pages.

I love reading an author’s second series because of books like TRUTHWITCH. Dennard’s writing is gorgeous, and her characters fresh and original. The world of TRUTHWITCH is huge and it’s because of Dennard’s experience as a writer that the…

This high-flying magical fantasy novel encapsulates everything I love about high fantasy! There is a strong female lead character, who relies on her own wit and intuition to defeat all sinister enemies. There is an element of…

So I know this book was massively over-hyped, but let me tell you, IT SERIOUSLY LIVED UP TO ITS HYPE! The worldbuilding, characters, magic, romance, all of it was fantastic! I can't wait to read the next one! I need it now!!

Generally, I avoid hyped books. I avoid them like the plague because I've been burned so many times by fandoms and hype. Truthwitch has possibly one of the most insane book campaigns for a title I've seen in awhile, to the point where it's…

A nice blend of adventure and fantasy, dosen't have romance that overwhelms the plot

Fantasy readers will enjoy Dennard’s rich and intricately detailed world and her cast of complex imperfect characters. There is plenty of action as well including breathless escapes and thrilling battles. While there is a great deal to…

My library has this classified as a teen fiction but it could really be adult. The story telling, action, and characters are great. The world is interesting, the myths intriguing, the characters real, and the bad guys very bad (or are…

I myself am nearly finished with the book and it has by far gone above and beyond my expectations. The author creates such a vivid world much like lord of the rings with the lore. The two other comments on this page are just from people…

DNF @ 32% Boring and confusing. The story's got a whole collection of words, names and titles that obviously mean something but the author doesn't really bother to explain them. I found the two female protagonists irksome and that…
