"On a continent ruled by three empires, some are born with a 'witchery,' a magical skill that sets them apart from others. In the Witchlands, there are almost as many types of magic as there are ways to get in trouble--as two desperate young women know all too well"--Front jacket flap.

I almost didn't finish reading Truthwitch because I didn't enjoy reading the first quarter of it at all. Although it did get better, I didn't find the world or characters particularly compelling, and I was actually more interested in learning about characters other than the main characters. I went back and forth on my rating because later parts did keep me reading even if I didn't love it, but I ended up deciding on “it's okay” since I wasn't particularly impressed by anything about it.

My local library did a blind date with a book thingy and i picked this book because it sounded cool and then I unwrapped it and saw it was this book... the book I've been avoiding since it got popular on booktube years ago. I thought I might as well read it.. so I did.
Excellent writing and good characters but it just wasn't for me sadly
This year I've commited myself to read more fantasy, and this book has been the perfect choice! I heard a lot -a lot- about this book and I thought I might enjoy it, and I was absolutely right. It was very easy to enter in this new world, which is a huge surprise for me because I usually have this problem with this genre. However, the narrative is captivating and I couldn't keep my eyes off the book.
Despite the great story, what I liked the most about this book were the characters. They are so well constructed that they feel real. I loved the way that friendship was the center of the story, and how they faced all the troubles that came ahead.
Even though I'm not very sure about the romance, I still like this book very very much. In fact, I have high expectations for the next book, so I hope not to be disappointed.
I won this book through GoodReads and I thank to publishers for providing me this copy. My review isn't influenced by this fact

This was so amazing and I'm so glad I did not have to wait until January to read it. But now I am sad that I have to wait over a year to find out what happens to these characters I fell in love with.
