![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() The Winter of the Witch is an excellent ending point for a series, and there is even room left for Arden to write a sequel if she wants to. I blew through this book series the first time around because I was so excited and so desperate to read what was coming next, and several times I did have to flip back to see where something had occurred earlier that was being referenced by a character later. This is one of my favorite new series, and I am absolutely going to go back and re-read it at some point in the future so I can go back and see what sort of foreshadowing is put into this and so I can actually take my time and slow down and enjoy it. It would have been only three, but I got sidetracked by a video game on the third day. I blew through this entire series in four days. ![]()
