Synopsis:  

           All things fall.                                  

                 Even Witches.  

   Supreme in their dominion over seasons, storms, and sea, the Witches have forgotten the unmatched destructiveness of mankind. And among the weapons men seek are the magical songs of the Witches.                                 

Lilette is one of the few who see the decadence and decay weakening the Witches. As an outsider amid her own kind, can she help them survive the coming war?                                                                                                                  

My Review

I received a copy of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.

 At a young age Lilette  was at the center of a murder plot, one that wiped out her family. Taken in by a kind man, he made Lilette promise never to sing, fearing that through the magic in her voice the people trying to do her harm would once again find her. For many years Lilette kept her voice at bay. Then one day she sang and she was found.

 Witch Fall was a magical and mysterious novel which I enjoyed reading. I liked that the witches power came from their voices in the form of songs. I don't believe I have read a story where witches needed to sing songs to cast spells that control nature. I thought this was a wonderful idea.

 I liked Lilette and Han's characters and the history the two share from their childhood which left its mark on both of them. I enjoyed watching these two find the affection that they had once felt for each other again.

 Chen was definitely a scary and fierce warrior but I just couldn't bring myself to completely hate him. I also enjoyed Jolin's character. I actually think I would consider her to be my favourite. She was a very talented witch with a high level of intelligence when it came to plants and potions. In her attempt to have her work recognized she may have done things that she should have asked questions about first instead of being so blinded by her own ambitions. I loved the wise inscriptions on the new chapter pages by Join. There was more then one that I had to choose from for my favourite quote.

 In closing I would like to say that I liked this book. I thought that the plot was interesting and I enjoyed getting to know the characters. There was more then one twist in Witch Fall and even though its the third novel in the series it is the prequel so you don't need to read the other books first.

I give this a 3 ½ out of 5 stars.
