Review: Night of the Witch

Night of the Witch by Sara Raasch
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

3.8 Loved this new series by Revis. It reminded me a lot of Serpent and Dove except for the male character who is both protector and warrior (take that Holda). Otto is easily the best male character. From early in the novel, the reader cares for and loves the goodness emanating from him. After his father accuses his beloved stepmother of witchcraft, he spends the next 10 years of his life working to destroy the witch hunters in Germany. The night before his big plan, the daughter of a powerful witch comes upon him and throws all of his plans awry.

On the run for much of the novel, Otto finds peace in his relationship and love of Fritzi and Leisel. About 2/3s of the way in the trio enters a ‘green world’ - a place where the pressures of the original society dissipate, only to find themselves involved in schemes and politics if witches. As Fritzi and Otto fight for a life for all witches outside of the green world, they fall desperately more in love with each other.

A beautiful novel full of love, passion, and rich fantasy.
