I really enjoyed Son of a Witch, despite the feeling that it’s just an interlude in a larger story. With Wicked, I had lots of preconceptions about the characters, and whilst I liked the slant on them that the book provided, I suppose it did get in the way a bit. With Son of a Witch, I didn’t have those same obstacles to get past.

I enjoyed finding out more about Liir. I felt he was shabbily treated in Wicked, so it was interesting to follow his development here. I did want to shout at him a few times!

There are a lot of loose threads left at the end, so I suspect (hope!) there’s another book in the works. It reminded me of those M. Night Shyamalan films where you just get to see one act in a much larger story. They’re satisfying in their own way, but leave you hungry for more.
