The Witch's Blood by Katharine Corr, Elizabeth Corr
3.0
Full (series) review up on my blog: https://chaininteraction.wordpress.com/2018/03/04/the-witchs-kiss-trilogy-katharine-and-elizabeth-corr-book-review/
Again, if this book had been the second half of the book before it would have been a lot more effective (in my opinion). This was the action I had been waiting for in book two. And boy is there action? There are battles galore, betrayals, plot, and plans. There is still a hefty dose of romance and angst, but people’s priorities felt a little more in order in the final book than they did previously.
This book does have a few strange elements of writing in it, for instance, they seem to travel into something of a parallel universe, but the mechanics of this were never really explained? I’m not saying I wanted pages of theoretical physics, but it does feel at times like the term ‘magic’ is used to explain away any difficult moments in the plot.
As a conclusion to a trilogy, I would say this book is on par with the previous two titles. They are fun to read and they certainly have a lot of the things I like in YA paranormal fantasy. However, there wasn’t anything that really gripped me about them? I’m sure most readers will enjoy them, but in a market crowded with a lot of similar titles this series didn’t have enough bite that I would recommend it wholeheartedly.
