The Love Triangle: I hate love triangles on principle, but this is by far one of the worst ones I've encountered in YA. You don't see Elloren interact with any of the previous characters until well over halfway through the book. She was isolated from everyone she loved JUST SO THE PLOTLINE WITH LUKAS COULD GO FORWARD! It's so frustrating.
Yet we hardly see any of them to further develop the relationship between Lukas and Elloren. Why do we need more characters? The first two books had already built up a group that were compelling and interesting, their relationships complex. Side Characters: I honestly grew attached to the new side characters (Sparrow, Thierren, etc.) but I felt like this was extremely pointless. There was nothing compelling or interesting, and I am completely done with this book series now.Īlso, what's the point of her unlocking this magic if she can't use it for SO LONG! It was so boring watching her struggle over how she just wants to touch wood or how Lukas makes her feel soo powerful, but she never did anything with it for so long. I somehow found her more weak in this book, despite the fact that she has access to her power now.
Sure, her grief came up but she kept on shoving it down for the sake of survival, and yet in less than a chapter she's already talking about how she could have feelings for another character. Her plotline turned from gathering a group of friends she could trust to what? Battling feelings over a boy after Yvan died? Or rather "died." And also, she only mourned his death for a page or two before moving on. Completely and utterly ruined it.Įlloren: Elloren went from being an interesting heroine with complex development to so uninteresting I could barely read. I loved this series so much, and she ruined it with this book. But she soon realizes that the university may be the most treacherous place of all for the granddaughter of the Black Witch.Īs evil looms and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds, Elloren's best hope of survival may be among a secret band of rebels…if only she can find the courage to trust those she’s been taught to fear.Wow. When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming an apothecary, Elloren joins her brothers at Verpax University. But while her perople believe she will follow in her grandmother's footsteps and become the next Black Witch of prophecy, Elloren is devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above all else.
Prepare to be spellbound by The Black Witch.Įlloren Gardner is the spitting image of her grandmother, who drove back the enemy forces in the last Realm War.
