Rating: 2.75 or something like that. 
 I loved the concept of the book but sadly I didn't like the execution. 
 Susan Dennard writes nicely but the problem is that she sometimes forgets that we don't know everything she knows about the world she created. 
 I had such a hard time understanding what was going on and I was constantly confused by the plot and the characters. There are so many characters introduced and we get to know nobody really in depth. 
 The relationship between Iseult and Safi was so promising but they were mostly seperated or one of them was unconscious. It would have helped the story a lot if we witnessed their friendship and connect with their bond more so that we actually care about them. 
 Merik was my favourite character. I don't know but he is interesting and I liked the parts with him. Iseult is also way more interesting than Safi. Even though Safi is the main protagonist everybody wants to get hold of - the last Truthwitch. 
 The concept of the witches was a little bit weird and it was hard to follow. It gets easier if you're more into the story but in the beginning I was so confused about everything that I really didn't enjoy reading it. 
 Why is Safi so important? I still don't understand. Yes she can tell the truth from lying but I mean the Bloodwitch seems way more powerful. 
 Anyway I will read the second book because the ending was the only thing that I liked. I hope the series gets better and I hope there is more world building in the next one and more time for slow scenes instead of Safi and Iseult constantly running away from something.
