The Judgement

The War of the Witch Clans Trilogy #3

by Stephanie Storm

The Clans abandoned her when she needed them most. Now, she’s returned for vengeance.

Everything we’ve fought to avoid has come true: Lilith has returned to Sirona.
She’s set her sights on destroying every Witch Clan who stood by when Adam massacred her own. Determined to elevate the remnants of the Semyaza Clan to their rightful position as leaders of Sirona, Lilith’s wrath will know no bounds until she is seated on the throne.

Relying on the allies we’ve made, it’s a race to beat Lillith to The Sanctuary so we can warn them to prepare for war. Because once Lillith has wiped out the remaining Witch Clans, she plans to destroy The Sanctuary once and for all. The only safe place we have after the destruction Lillith’s Leviathan have caused.

But most all, she wants me.

I’m her true vessel and her best shot at succeeding in her plans.

With her sights set on me, I’m determined to do everything I can to stop her. Because if I don’t, every sacrifice and life lost along the way would’ve been all for nothing. And I refuse to let that happen.

The conclusion of this action packed upper YA fantasy, inspired by the story of Adam and Eve picks up immediately after the events of The Deception. The Judgement finds Riley fighting for her life and her world to stop Lillith once and for all.

I have so many thoughts about this book and this series and all of them are good

The Judgement is the third installment of The Witch Clans trilogy written by Stephanie Storm

Through the series we follow Riley on her quest to find safety in the Sanctuary after the death of her parents and her adventures after that. She finds new family and new friends who become like family. There is trauma, loss and grief.

I loved the magic system in this series. It felt so different than what you usually find in a fantasy book. There are multiple witch clans who each have their own magic and their own angel ancestor. It was so neat seeing magic and angels mixed in this way.

The Witch Clans is a short and sweet (sweet may not be the right word 😅) YA series. The books are all right around 200 pages, easy to follow with enough world building that the reader doesn't feel confused or lost.

What an epic conclusion to Storm’s world of the witch Clans. I thoroughly enjoyed traveling through Sirona with Riley as she fought for the lives of those she loved. This final installment is told through four points of view, which added a new dynamic to the series. I loved getting to read what The Lightbringer and Lilith were up to as Riley and Hunter fought to protect their future.

If you enjoyed the first two books in the series, you’re going to love this one. With action until the final page, Storm keeps you glued to the story. There is so much about Riley’s magic abilities and even more background as to what made Lilith and The Lightbringer join forces. This was just what I wanted to round out the trilogy!

If you've made it this far, by now you know that going into this series, I had a very different concept, but then the characters took over as they do, and I ended up with a different series. If The Tales of the Hidden Heir series made me a writer, this one, helped me find my voice as a writer, and there is something special to be said about that.

This was a hard book for me to write because transparency; while I had different ideas of how I wanted the series to end, nothing felt right to me. And then THAT final scene happened, and for the first time, I got a bit emotional writing about the things that happened to my characters. It was a beautiful ending to this series, and one I'm incredibly proud of.

The Judgement is the long anticipated final installment of The Witch Clans series. After the second installment left readers on a cliffhanger, the author doesnt miss a beat and continues with a thrilling story, full of twists and turns that delivers on every expectation right up to the last word.
The brilliance of entertwining an entirely architected, structured and ordered world of witchcraft and magic with a familiar story as old as Time makes this series memorable and the tale stays with the reader for a long time after turning the last page. This is my favorite series by Stephanie Storm so far.
