Book Description:
Brusenna thought it was finished. She defeated the Dark Witch, saving the Haven Witches from imprisonment and death. She found love and a place to belong.
A ship burns, sinking into the dark sea. There is only one survivor—a child hunted for the power of her song. Hidden away on an isolated island, Lilette buries her power deep, convinced it caused the deaths of those she loves.
But she can’t run from who she is. And when her secret is revealed, the only thing that can save her is her song. It’s time to rise up and become what she was always meant to be: the most powerful witch ever born.
Poor
Lilette!
Witch Rising by Amber Argyle
in a prequel to the prequel. I know that sounds weird, but this little nugget
of awesomesauce was so good. I find
myself liking Lilette more than I liked Brusenna as a main character. The scene
on the boat where they were attacked and she lost her parents hurt my heart.
Argyle
did an exquisite job of painting both the scene and the pain. Witch Rising is just as well written as Witch Song and Witch Born. The part I like most is it takes us back to before the
wars started and lets us see how it all began. I wish we knew more about Fa and
what his story was and how he knew the things he knew.
Was
he a guardian? A Seer? I don’t know, but I do know he was a good person. Fa was
the one who found Lilette in the ocean and took her in to raise her as his own
for as long as he could. I also loved Salfe and how he stood up to Bian, his
Father, for Lilette.
This
was a quick story, but we got a lot of information about Lilette’s background
in it and now I’m totally prepared to move right on to Witch Fall the next book
in the series. Out all three books I’ve read so far Witch Rising has been my favorite.
