Great book

Really good book can wait till I can read the next book love the flying horse

Glad I stuck with it!

I became a Kate Forsyth fan when I picked up the Witches of Eileen. I was a little disappointed with the first book in this series. I felt it was way to predictable and got frustrated with some of the way to obvious choices made by the characters. That being said, this book makes it all worth it! This is the Kate Forsyth I was looking for! I CANNOT WAIT for the third book!

Also, shout out to Elle Newlands!!! I wish I could have her read me to sleep every night, lol. She is just incredible! I would listen to her read the ingredients off a shampoo bottle and be perfectly happy, lol. I wish she narrated all the books on Audible ♥️♥️♥️

Exciting all the way!!

My pledge to not binge listen….yeah right. I’m already sad that I’ll finish the series soon. So many characters to loathe and love! I’ll have a miss in my soul again when it’s over. I want more….

Good- but very illogical characters at times…

Great narration, but at times the characters and pieces of the plot are so illogical you want to bang your head at the thoughts and conclusions of the characters… Be prepared rating say - What?!!? Who would even think that?!!? That does not follow, and is so completely illogical…

fast moving story

a really good read, enjoyable, exciting, like the authors imagination, and I have come to realize that all I have read by Kate Forsyth keeps me wanting more
