This is the concluding novel of the Women of the Otherworld series, and wraps up the Savannah Levine trilogy that started with Waking the Witch. Overall, I think it was a very fitting ending, though I don’t think Savannah is really one of my favorite narrators. That honor would be reserved for Elena, Eve and Jaime.

Jen K’s Review #4: Spell Bound
Spell Bound takes off immediately where Waking the Witch left off, with Savannah’s powers gone.

As the cauldron bubbled an eldritch voice shrieked:
The start of the coolest witch in Discworld
I only started reading the Discworld series a few years ago. I was up late at night, trying to think of things to buy for my new Kindle, and faced with the problem I always have when shopping for entertainment: What in the hell am I supposed to buy?
