Enjoyment: Quality: Characters: Plot:

From New York Times bestselling author Susan Dennard, Sightwitch is an illustrated novella set in the Witchlands and told through Ryber’s journal entries and sketches. Before Safi and Iseult battled a Bloodwitch... Before Merik returned from the dead… Ryber Fortiza was a Sightwitch Sister at a secluded convent, waiting to be called by her goddess into the depths of the mountain. There she would receive the gift of foretelling. But when that call never comes, Ryber finds herself the only Sister without the Sight. Years pass and Ryber’s misfit pain becomes a dull ache, until one day, Sisters who already possess the Sight are summoned into the mountain, never to return. Soon enough, Ryber is the only Sister left. Now, it is up to her to save her Sisters, though she does not have the Sight—and though she does not know what might await her inside the mountain. On her journey underground, she encounters a young captain named Kullen Ikray, who has no memory of who he is or how he got there. Together, the two journey ever deeper in search of answers, their road filled with horrors, and what they find at the end of that road will alter the fate of the Witchlands forever. Set a year before Truthwitch, Sightwitch is a companion novella that also serves as a set up to Bloodwitch, as well as an expansion of the Witchlands world.

    Still really enjoyed it and now that I know what happens in Bloodwitch? Yeah, this book is SUPER important to the world.

    "...paths do not come to you. You have to find them for yourself, and sometimes, you have to carve new ones entirely."

    If you, like me, have a love for all things backstory and history related, THIS IS THE BOOK FOR YOU! There were so many questions I had from the Witchlands (so far) that were answered in this book, and yet, so many new questions arose. This book feels important to the Witchlands as a whole so if you are enjoying the series I suggest you read it.

    This book follows three different timelines and viewpoints. Ryber at 17. Tanzi ranging (I believe) from when she and Ryber were about 8-12. Dysi from 1000 years in the past.

    Tanzi and Dysi's stories could seem a bit slow at times but they were infrequent and considering what Ryber's story was doing at the time, it was a nice break between the chaos. I don't feel like this story would have worked without all three views. There is so much history and so much to learn from these three tales.

    I know it's another year (or so) to Bloodwitch, but I can't wait to see how the events of Sightwitch play out in the future.
