Release Date: January 5th 2016 
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. Safiya is a Truthwitch, able to discern truth from lie. It’s a powerful magic that many would kill to have on their side, especially amongst the nobility to which Safi was born. So Safi must keep her gift hidden, lest she be used as a pawn in the struggle between empires. Iseult, a Threadwitch, can see the invisible ties that bind and entangle the lives around her—but she cannot see the bonds that touch her own heart. Her unlikely friendship with Safi has taken her from life as an outcast into one of reckless adventure, where she is a cool, wary balance to Safi’s hotheaded impulsiveness. Safi and Iseult just want to be free to live their own lives, but war is coming to the Witchlands. With the help of the cunning Prince Merik (a Windwitch and ship’s captain) and the hindrance of a Bloodwitch bent on revenge, the friends must fight emperors, princes, and mercenaries alike, who will stop at nothing to get their hands on a Truthwitch.

Why I'm Waiting...

Okay, so maybe I haven't read anything by Susan Dennard yet but hopefully that will be fixed soon. This book has been really talked about around Twitter and I am honestly excited to read it. It's been awhile since I have read a book about witches and Dennard's book seems like something that will bring me right back to the world of witches. For one, I am excited to learn more about the different kind of witches that are featured in the Truthwitch world. Based on the synopsis though, I can tell that these two main characters have a great friendship and I am all up for. I also love friendships even more when they are the "opposites attract" kind of friendship so I am super excited to meet these two characters. There is also the fact that I can definitely see a lot of action and fighting in this book! A war and people who will do anything for a Truthwitch? Heck yes! Plus, I'm really excited to meet Merik. ;)

So tell me: Have you heard of this book and what are your thoughts on it?
