On a continent ruled by three empires, everyone is born with a "witchery," a magical skill that sets them apart from others. Now, as the Twenty Year Truce in a centuries long war is about to end, the balance of power-and the failing health of all magic-will fall on the shoulders of a mythical pair called the Cahr Awen.
The biggest thing on Safi and Noelle's minds is saving money for their planned future in the Hundred Isles. Noelle, a Threadwitch, can see the emotional Threads binding the world. Safi, on the other hand, is a Truthwitch-she always knows when a person is telling a lie. A powerful magic like that is something people would kill to have on their side-or to keep off their enemy's side-and so Safi cannot even admit what she truly is.
With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and privateer) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must rise above their doubts and fight to learn who they are and what they are made of, if they are going to stay alive and preserve the balance of their world.
"An instant new classic."--Sarah J. Maas, New York Times bestselling author of Throne of Glass, on Susan Dennard's Truthwitch

Review
Truthwitch has elemental magic and a chosen pair of strong female characters who bring balance to the world. You will encounter a variety of magical creatures, sea wolves, dragons, and monsters who look like humans, as well as humans who look like monsters. They’re a bit of romance to keep things interesting. I admit I picked this book up a few times, and it was just not the right moment for it. I read it twice before this read along and this time, I am doing them via audiobook, and boy, does the audiobook make it come alive. What makes the books stand out for me is, yes, each book is center around a particular character or witch, but each book also brings out more info about the other type of witches that can be found beyond the characters we meet. So join the read-along and return to the Witchlands as we eagerly await the arrival of the next book.
