The House Witch 2

A Humorous Romantic Fantasy

By: Delemhach

Narrated by: Matthew Wolf

House witch Finlay Ashowan must contend with matters of the heart, hearth, family, and kingdom in the second book of a whimsical and winning fantasy series

As a wielder of domestic magic, Finlay Ashowan likes to keep his affairs as neat and orderly as his kitchen. But between his work for the King and Queen of Daxaria and a new (secret) relationship with Lady Annika Jenoure, his life is anything but tidy.

For one thing, if Annika and Fin are to continue their romance, they’ll need to sort out the pesky issue of Fin’s being a commoner—before Annika is forced into a political marriage that interferes with her own carefully laid plans.

For another, pressure is mounting as the war with Troivack draws ever closer. When Fin requests time away from the castle to rest, the King agrees but under a very particular condition: Fin must brave the streets of Austice as a spy, sleuthing out the plans of the Troivackian troops allegedly hidden there.

Further complicating things, Fin’s estranged father is on his way to Daxaria, an unexpected and unappreciated arrival that’s bound to wreak even more havoc in his son’s life.

As Fin forges new friendships and alliances—magical and non-magical alike—he becomes even more enmeshed in courtly intrigues, old feuds, and very personal problems. And the more he tries to clean up the various messes in his life, the more apparent it becomes that his troubles are only just beginning...

The second volume of the hit romantic-fantasy series—with more than a million views on Royal Road—now available on Kindle, Kindle Unlimited, and Audible!

Less cozy but still good!

This is much less cozy than the first but still had some cozy vibes. Definitely check your triggers because this one has some rough bits. The story is progressing and a lot of this is continuation of the first and setting up the next but it resolved some of the first books open story lines and filled out some of the side characters. There’s some problematic characterizations of marginalized groups but I feel like it’s more ignorance as opposed of intentionally harmful. But that’s up for each reader to decide on their own.

I really enjoy these books.

These are fun books with magic, the threat of war and love. It's been years since I giggled over a book romance but the author really brings these characters to life. Only reason for the 4 stars are the cliff hanger endings.

Cliffhanger

Love it so many people and battle story’s main and side cliffhanger at the end

Another great addition to the series

First, the narrator is *chefs kiss*! Just absolutely fabulous!

The second book in a series is not always as good as the first one, but this book doesn’t have that problem. It’s just as good as the first one and the story moved along nicely to expose more players in the game. A few unexpected twists and turns were executed nicely and we’re TOTALLY READY for the next book!

Great series!

Love it! I am impatiently waiting on my next credit to get the third one!
