Part of me didn't want to read this right away just because I knew like Sooz's other books, I'd be sucked right in. I was right. I feel like I was already hit directly in the feels with these characters I've come to care so much for. Loving how this is setting up so far and I can't wait to follow along with my favorites for another book. I can't wait to read the rest of this and follow my Bae Bloodwitch around, though I'm mostly eager to get back to Grumpy Merik. Loved the first seven chapters and SUPER EAGER for more. Is it release day yet?!
