Rebel Witch
Synopsis
Rune Winters is on the run. After Gideon Sharpe discovered what she truly was and delivered her into the hands of the people hunting her kind, she has nowhere left to turn but to Cressida Roseblood — a witch as ruthless as she is powerful, who is plotting to tear down the Republic and put witches back in power by any means necessary.
Gideon has spent his life fighting to keep his world from returning to the tyranny witches once held over it, and Rune's betrayal only confirms what he always feared: that he can't trust her, and that the woman he loved was never who she claimed to be. But when an uneasy alliance forces the two of them back into each other's orbit, Gideon has to decide whether protecting his world means destroying the person he still can't stop loving.
Rebel Witch is the concluding half of The Crimson Moth duology, closing out Rune and Gideon's story amid rising political violence, hard choices, and a fight neither of them can win without losing something they can't get back.
How it reads
- Kristen Ciccarelli did not mess about, and she threw us right back into the plot. The world-building continues to be immaculate, following with a solid plotline that rivalled the first book. Rune and Gideon lived up to the enemies-to-lovers trope, with the slowburn and angst that I could feel from them. The pacing was fast, the side characters held their own, and I ended up reading the entire thing in one day. I had the same feeling with The Crimson Moth, but maybe this book just hit me in the right mood, because I enjoyed it very much.
- 4.5!! I love them!!!
- 3.5/5
