The Witch of Luna Hill #2
The Witch's Storm
Part two of The Witch of Luna Hill.
After having cut a deal with the despised Niolans to find the young Princess Tira, Aia and Merian venture out to retrieve Aia’s memory and not least her magic. Everywhere people are fleeing the effects of the black veil that is covering Bragimark, and the greys seem to have vanished into thin air. The quiet before the storm is deafening.
When the two friends have to part ways, Aia discovers that it is crucial that she gets to the princess before Sixten, and Merian gets caught up in a grey mess and suddenly finds herself face to face with an old acquaintance – an encounter she fears she won’t escape alive.
When Aia learns that there are three components to salvation, she’s surprised to discover that the third element is a new friend who’s somewhat reluctant to help out, and when the final battle against Parmona and her army commences, all seems lost.

I read the first book in this series The Witch of Luna Hill earlier in the year so I was eager to download this follow up and read it straight away.
In this book, Aia now knows she is actually Freya Willand a powerful witch. She can't use her powers yet as her memory has still not come back due to a binding spell she performed on herself after a tragic accident she felt responsible for resulted in the death of a man. Parmona, the fiancee of the man she killed is one of the most ruthless witchs alive and she will stop at nothing to discover where Freya is and to take revenge by making Freya see everyone she cares about die in the worst way possible. Parmona wants more too, she wants a world ruled by fear and darkness and as Parmona falls deeper in to her own madness she begins to make it happen. Freya must unbind her powers to stand a chance of defeating Parmona, to get her memory back and to find out in whose safe hands she left the princess who was under her care before she lost her memory.
There is love, action, heroines and heroes in this fantasy tale. It's written with a real Nordic fairytale feel about it and I think this series is crying out to be made into a film. Neel Kay's writing is a real joy and she carries you along with strong hearted characters whom you can really care about.

This book is the second in the series and I haven't read the first one. I took a chance on it, I should have read the first book in the series. Then I would have understood the storyline and connected with the characters earlier than I did. Freya must stop the witch Parmona in a final battle. Destinies have been written and many will die. There is a race to save a child Princess whom Freya has hidden away, but she has forgotten where and she has lost her magic. The book contains strong language which I felt wasn't necessary in a piece of fantasy writing, I would have enjoyed more depth to the scenes that writing in the fantasy genre offers. The ending when the characters find themselves on a new timeline was very well written.
