I loved learning more about the witchland series overall. I really did liked how this story connected back to Kullen. I felt like this story sometimes had to many mini storylines that I did not always spy the connections. I was engaged in the story. I really did like this story, but I wanted more and just one clear story. I am excited to see how this novella connects to the whole story as well! ( ) I will say I really loved this book. Not only did it give more insight into the Witchlands world, but it also gave us Ryber who I really hope has a larger part to play in the series now. I feel like until now the Witchlands had a small story to tell but with the addition of Sightwitch the story is gaining momentum and stories are starting to make more sense. Ryber is great, I love how she was so strict, but eventually through her progress of trying to save her Threadfamily so learns to bend and break rules. The Rook was by far my favorite character (despite being a bird) and the illustrations were great, and with the side notes added a dimension that I didn't know I was missing until now. I know that they won't include that in the next books but it doesn't mean I can't enjoy them. I will say I really loved this book.

It is the back story for Ryber Fortiza, a side character from the main series. The story is told as a series of journal entries primarily by Ryber, with the occasional entry by her threadsister Tanzi and historical entries by the famous Sightwitch Sister Eridysi Gochienka. I find this style of storytelling hit or miss and this one ended up working for me better than I expected. One of the neat things is all the art included as part of the journal. I'm very glad I read this as a physical copy as the drawings may have been shrunk too small on my Kindle. I enjoyed the story. Ryber's portion focuses on her life in the Sitewitch Sisters Convent about a year before the start of the main series and her original meeting with Kullen. It explains nicely what it means to be a Sightwitch and is a decent, if short, adventure story. More interesting were the historical flashbacks provided by Eridysi's journal entries. These added another layer to the world building of the Witchlands that I found fascinating. I wish there had been more of them. Without going into too many details for fear of spoilers, I'm excited to see how this will tie back to the main series with Bloodwitch. no reviews | add a review
