5/29/2023 0 Comments Witchfall by Victoria Lamb![]() ![]() ![]() Witchfall skilfully draws together threads that were introduced in Witchstruck without them having felt like loose ends, and also weaves in (and ties off) new ones effectively. ![]() I think the second book in a trilogy must be quite difficult to get right and I am always grumpy with a book which leaves too many loose ends. I am also enjoying the cast of characters created in this series and am very much looking forward to seeing how it is all tied together in the end. The tension is managed exquisitely, and even when you are sure you know what's going to happen next, there are surprises and twists in store. It's difficult to say much for a sequel without giving away spoilers, but you should know that the plotting in this novel is first rate. Dangers are definitely lurking everywhere, and this is a very tense read. The politicised atmosphere at court and the more rustic country setting are both rendered clearly for the reader, as well as the dreadful vision which plagues poor Meg more and more through the novel. The settings in this novel are great and beautifully done. Victoria Lamb has ramped things up for the second installment of her YA Tudor Witch trilogy: more complexity to the romance, more shadowy danger to our beloved protagonist as well as more historical reference. If you enjoyed Witchstruck at all (as I definitely did), even the slightest bit, you must read Witchfall. More Tudor Witch romance, intrigue and danger ![]()
