The Ether Witch #3
The Ether Witch: The Divining of a Devil
Magic. Mystery. Mayhem. Fate has come due.
Having defeated the corrupt concubine Soo Hebin, and cast the first witch into a prison she shouldn't be able to escape easily, Tam thinks some rest is in order.
Sadly, because the Zinferan emperor has it in his mind that Eli should be the heir to his throne, there isn't much time for that.
With help from Katarina Ashowan and the Ryu family, Tam, Eli, Luca, and Penelope set sail for Dazaria at long last.
Only, leaving Zinfera doesn't get rid of their troubles for long.
Upon rescuing some mysterious Lobahlans from Zinferan pirates, and learning that the rebellion of the covens is coming to a climax, Tam finds that his new moniker, the devil, is starting to sit a little heavily on his shoulders.
Can he manage to help stop an all-out war from breaking out between witches and humans? Will the First Witch stay banished and leave him and his family alone? And most importantly, can he convince the freedom-loving Eli to agree to marry him?
Discover the epic conclusion in The Ether Witch, Volume 3: The Divining of a Devil—a spellbinding fantasy filled with witches, royal intrigue, magic, and star-crossed romance.

Wow, this is bittersweet. I can’t believe we’ve reached the end of the House Witch and his family after nine books. This book was emotional and a perfect conclusion to the chapter that had become so much a part of the Ashowan family. I wish for more….100% more Kat and Fin if I could. I loved each of them deeply and this was no exception.

The end of an era
And so ends the story of Tamlin Ashowan. I'm so freaking happy I took a chance on Delemhach and even happier that Tam finally gets the ending he deserves. The 2nd generation of Ashowans are just as fun and calamatous. I cannot wait to hear what the next generation gets into. Just as enjoyable a read as all the other books in the series.

Overall, I really enjoyed the conclusion to this trilogy. The book hinted that there was more books to look forward to in this universe that I will try to wait patiently for. As always, characters are true to themselves and there's some heartbreak. The children were fun.
There were some things missed in editing, mostly in relation to Thomas Julian and Likon names getting mixed up a couple of times for some reason. The digital format of the book had some minor formatting issues in a couple of places.
Minor spoilers: it felt like this book was hinting at future books focusing more on lobah and Penelope that I'm looking forward to. Maybe Charlie as well would get some focus in the future.

An excellent saga
What an amazing journey it has been following the Ashowan family. It was sad to see the series come to a conclusion but what a satisfying conclusion it was. Reading through Tamlin and Eli's growth and adventures from the first to this last book was just so much fun. They really go through it all and come out stronger together. I love everything about this series ❤️ thank you Delemhach for the world, characters, and their you crafted for us.

This was an excellent book! This book made me laugh and cry, and have a full blown panic attack the last 10 or so chapters because I truly didn’t know how it was all going to work out. I should have had faith in my Ashowens that it would!
I really loved how Tam and Eli both came into their own, both as individuals and as a couple. I also love their ever growing family! I wish I would have had more scenes with Finn, but that’s just because I love him.
While I think the story of the Ashowen family is done based on how this book ended, I don’t know if we are entirely done with the world of the House Witch. Based on that second epilogue, I feel we may have a Kraken novella? With guest appearances by our favorite family? I don’t know! However, if this is truly the end, then it ended great for everyone and I am so relieved!

I really enjoyed this book, I been waiting for it for so long. I could not put it down, I was up until 5:30am. I cried so much reading this, so many heart breaking moments.
Part of me was hoping Eli and Tam would end up as rulers of Zinfera that way each of the lands would have strong ties to each other.
I still feel like there is so much more to the story that hasnt been told. How did Pina take over, who will rule after. She cant be away from Kat forever. How will the world adjust to less witches and beast leaving over time. The Gods stepping back from human world. How will they strike a balance with nature and magic?
Also Lobahl, so many secrets. So much to explore.

What a way to finish this series! It did feel slightly rushed after the climax, but most lives do feel rushed after the stress of an event has passed.
Have tissues ready for this one! I'm not someone who normally cries when I read a book, teary eyed sure, but never really tears rolling down and wanting to sob. Chapters 49 and 50 changed that for me!! Like, I knew it was coming, but oh my god not that way!! All I could think about was Amos Diggery going "That's my son! That's my boy!!" and lost it.
All in all, a fantastic book.

A fun and fascinating witch story
In this series is about a young man that grows up with a very difficult power. He ends up making enemies and allies, and has both real family and found family over time. There is a great deal of humor and a lot of difficulty. I love these stories for their heart, their humor, and also the feelings evoked. I really enjoy reading books by this author.

Amazing series!
I absolutely love these books! Unlike the cozys I usually read in a few hours I leisurely take a couple of days to read each of these books. There's so much nuance, humor and unexpected twists that make these one of the best series ever! The writing is amazing as is the whole story and plot! As a cat lover Pina and the Empurror are my favorites! I hated to come to the end but hope there's more to come!

I don't know if the errors were because the KU version was release early or what but there was a lot.
Aside from that the story was great. I was so worried it was ending with the death of either son or dad but of course Fin would never let that happen!
I like that there's a possibility of something happening with Zinfera in the future too!

All the House Witch books are delightful
The first book I believe I got for free. Having finished that I became hooked. I loved all the Ashowan family members as well as the others. I hope the author continues on with this series. If so, I will gobble them up. This is a series I have been recommending & would even consider reading again.

Poor editing.
I have read all 10 books in this series. I usually ignore poor editing but I couldn’t overlook several errors in this book. Plus this story did not progress as smoothly as the other 9 books which received 4 or 5 star reviews from me. I hope someone revisits this book and fixes the many mistakes.

Great ending and a new beginning
I love this world of the House Witch and his family. I was so worried that it would all be over until I saw the new book coming out later this year. Thank you Delemhach for inventing this wonderful world we get to visit❤

I love this series
The stories are filled with adventure, the characters are fun and filled with depth. Not the genre I usually but a good comfort series to clear the palate. Highly suggest this series.

Read it!
This book is as good as it gets. You’ll be laughing out loud and crying. My only complaint is that the ending seemed to drag out. Other than that, I’d say enjoy the end of the ride with Tam and Eli, the Ashowan family, and all their friends. What a journey it was! Enjoy!

hard to put down
All three books were very easy to read. And I felt at home with how the book was written. I was hoping there would be a fourth book by the time I ended the third book, but otherwise I look forward to the next book that she writes.

The beginning dragged on a bit (would have rated it a 3-star), but I sobbed so much in the latter part (would have rated as 5-star), and I'm so very happy of their final HEA.

A slow start with a satisfying conclusion.
The beginning was slow and the ending a little rushed.
I liked the hint of future books.

Truly lovely. I enjoyed every bit of this final installment. There were chapters that had me in tears and gasping at the daring twists. Well worth the read.
