Truthwitch--Reviewed by Sarah Roberts

“I hate this. Both the storm and the plan. Why does it have to be ‘we’? Why not just me?"
“Because ‘just me’ isn’t who we are,” Iseult hollered back. “I’ll always follow you, Safi, and you’ll always follow me. Threadsisters to the end.”  

Friends are the people you can always count on. Possibly even risk your own life for. This is the type of bond that Safiya and Iseult and have. They would do anything for each other, be anything for each other, and even die for each other.

In the Witchlands there are many people that each use their own type of magic which may or may not lead them on the path of trouble. Two women know this all too well. Their names...Safiya and Iseult.

Safiya is a Truthwitch, meaning that she is able to know the difference between a truth and a lie. This magical ability is one that almost anyone would kill to have fighting on their side, especially the noble people that Safiya live with. Safiya must keep her abilities a secret, or else she is in danger of being used as pawn in a war between powerful empires.

Iseult is a Threadwitch, meaning that she has the ability to see the invisible ties that tie the entangled lives around her. However, Iseult cannot see the bonds that touch her very own heart. Iseult's friendship with Safiya has taken her from a outcasts to an amazing adventure.

Together these two friends work to free themselves from their own confinement in order to be able to finally live their own lives.

I thought this book was really good! It was exciting and the relationship between Safiya and Iseult was heart warming. You could really feel the strong bond between these two. I also really liked how the author wrote this book, I was really grabbed by every word. The adventure in this book is absolutely amazing and really gives you chills. Though it was a little in some places it still gave me chills.
