Another banger by RA Salvatore! If you love great fantasy adventure read this book!
Very good read, he takes write c some time with the character building to bring it to a culminating stage that I soonest gave up out of frustration as to where he was going with the story. However, it all comes together trying very nicely into the first book and bringing together the key players to move forward.
The first half of the book is a little slow and "Keridven"'s ignorance & putting her head in the sand is almost excruciating. But once there is no more hiding from reality for her, the book REALLY grabs hold of you and before you know it, it's over. While the first book of the trilogy feels like a truly stand alone storyline, this book feels more like a set up for the third book of the series. Still and amazing read, nonetheless!
The Witch of Whispervale is the sequel to Pinquickle’s Folly from last year. This series follows some 30 years after the events of the DemonWars Saga. The world is looking for peace after the wars, and a treaties have been tentatively holding that peace in place. Unfortunately as we find in Folly, the treaties are quickly being forgotten and ignored. Witch of Whispervale follows yet another character, a returning one from the DemonWars books, as she tries her hardest to find and make a peaceful life for herself.This book was heavy and darker than the first. Keri is our primary character as she works hard to find and make a home where she can leave her old identity behind, along with the death and war she has known for so long. Unfortunately the golden tide of the Xoconai soon comes to her small village and breaks her family she’s made apart. I appreciated this for so much. The mental health struggles of Keri are clear, and we also see old friends step up to try to help her with those struggles. We see her become not just an angry and powerful woman, but a woman who wants peace and a mother who wants revenge.This one is darker, I actually had to put it down on several occasions because a few scenes got me. But it’s also ramping up what is clearly going to be the huge conflict and it’s not going to be peaceful. Salvatore has a great way with magic and building tension and it’s clear here (even if the side characters aren’t perfect). I loved this though it took me forever. I really recommend continuing if you enjoyed Pinquickle’s Folly - but be prepared!
This book is making me angry. It's like I've missed an entire series between immortals and this series, yet I can find nothing on the internet. It is compl removed from Pinquickles Folly and I am unable to gain interest in it as all I can think about is the masses of information missing between here and there. Very disappointed.
