Blurb:

Paths converge and prophecies unfold as Safi and Iseult―the legendary Cahr Awen―fight their way across the Witchlands to heal the final Origin Well. With ancient figures rising from the past, the Raider King’s armies gathering for war, and the magic at the heart of everything dying too fast, the entire world is now on the brink of collapse.

But when Safi and Iseult reach the Air Well with the Bloodwitch Aeduan at their side, they discover too late that Eridysi's Lament is not the prophecy they thought it was―and their journeys are only just beginning.

My thoughts:

Witchlight is a splendid and fulfilling ending to The Witchlands series, and I couldn't imagine a better way to say goodbye to that journey.

It had been quite a while since I read the last book, and I needed a bit of time to fully dive back into this world. However, when I did, I enjoyed it to the fullest.

I love the fact that the author has a recap on her site of every book from The Witchlands series, and although I didn't take advantage of this option, it's a heartwarming gesture towards her readers.

The book has a vast scope, taking full advantage of it by journeying the characters across the continent, and combined with numerous POVs, it gives us a wider view of all the events and emotions throughout the journey.

Really fast-paced, dragging you by the hand so you can keep up, and I loved how it pulled on hints and threads from the previous books, tying things together perfectly in the most satisfying way.

As I said, fast-paced and action-packed to the brim, I thoroughly enjoyed Witchlight, and it was worth the wait so we can get that perfect ending❤️
