Megan (lahairoi) | 7470 comments I'm starting a second round since I've gone through most of the choices already. So my second #13 (more than five colors on the cover) - Windwitch by Susan Dennard. Overall, I liked this book and will keep reading the series. However, there were some major issues particularly at the beginning. There's a big difference between the author keeping the reveal secret from her audience and not being able to convey her key plot points. I felt there was a lot left unsaid in the book that made it much more difficult to enjoy. It got better towards the end, and I am still invested in reading the next book. Worth reading. 3.5 stars
