The Witches of Eileanan #3
The Cursed Towers
A new age dawns in the kingdom of Eileanan, but not without resistance. Now the Righ, Lachlan the Winged, overturns his dead brother's decrees against witchcraft. But sixteen years of hatred and superstition have cloaked Eileanan in darkness. And though he has won the power of the Lodestar, Lachlan's rule is challenged by a mere babe--and a civil war erupts.
The flame-haired twins--Iseult the Scarred Warrior and Isabeau the apprentice-witch--must go their separate ways. Iseult to fight side by side with her husband, Lachlan. Isabeau to the Cursed Towers, to master her powers and to find the family she has never known.
One woman battling for a new reign, one woman learning the old ways, their separate threads will twist and turn into a tale of mayhem, mystery, and magic.

I am really enjoying this series overall but this was not the best book so far. I am not keen on too much description of warfare and there was an awful lot of that in this book. However I am already invested in Isabeau's story and really enjoyed the chapters about her. I am looking forward to the next book.

I love the dexterity with which Kate Forsyth weaves together multiple characters and perspectives in her novels. She covered 4 years in this book, which I admire on one hand, but also wish she had lingered over a few battles and struggles to. I love her characters and the world of Eileannan. Also, I appreciate how she discusses the idea of colonisation, retribution and the cost of war. Something I love about fantasy is the it can challenge you to question issues in your own world indirectly. As I read this and considered the Fairge's vendetta against the Coven of Witches for taking their land and their lives, then being confused when they didn't sign a treaty or didn't want to pay for the land that the humans stole, it was hard not to think about European colonisers and Aboriginal Australians. Even now, many non-Indigenous Australians want Aboriginals to just "get over it" or say "but that wasn't my fault", effectively erasing the harm and saying it doesn't matter. In both the book and in reality it is difficult to find a way forward from that place that serves both sides. I look forward to seeing how Forsyth resolves the fictional problem as Australians continue to wrestle with this reality.

I found this lagged in the middle so it seemed to take me ages to finish. I like the narration, particularly her singing. The tale is good, it just seems over-long.
I believe there are three more books in the series but this completed the outstanding threads in the main.

The third book, and I'm still enthralled. This is a lush and vivid epic fantasy series, with all the things an epic fantasy series ought to have: a struggle for a kingdom, fearless active heroes (male and female), calculating villains, and a wide-ranging landscape populated by both humans and nonhumans. I loved the page time given to the faery characters in this one. Lilanthe comes into her own as a heroine, while Iseult and Isabeau, our main human heroines, continue strong. Also pleasing: the roles played by characters well past their prime, like Meghan the Keybearer, the most powerful woman among the heroes, and her beloved seer friend Jorge.
A couple of matters do trouble me, however.
The Coven itself is a splendidly gender-egalitarian society, in which male and female witches (here "witch" is used as a gender-neutral term, as I often wish "wizard" would be) work alongside one another as friends and allies, and every member's power is valued. Outside the Coven, however, I find yet another of the legion of "sucks-to-be-a-woman" fantasy worlds, where a leader like Iseult is disrespected despite having proved herself repeatedly in battle and has to put up with unfunny jokes about whistling women and crowing hens, and a tomboy like Fionnghal is told she shouldn't bother to learn archery because she's nothing but a "stupid lassie" who will grow up to marry a laird and pop out babies. Is this really all a spirited girl who isn't lucky enough to have witch powers can look forward to in this world? Then something needs to change -- yet the worst of it is that nobody seems to find anything wrong with it. The jerks who disrespect Iseult aren't punished and are never shown learning any better. The jerk who insults Fionnghal never apologizes or realizes his mistake, and is treated as a hero later in the book even though his treatment of the girl put an end to any sympathetic interest I might have taken in him. Outside the Coven, all the power and authority on the side of Good is securely in the hands of men.
Along the same lines, it bothers me that female soldiers are quite common among the book's Forces of Evil, the ironically named "Bright Soldiers," yet among our heroes, Iseult is absolutely and positively the ONLY female fighter. Among the children rescued in the previous book, only the boys become squires; the girls are trained as healers. Aside from the members of the Coven, every woman on the side of Good except Iseult is a very traditional wife/mother/daughter type. There's also a disagreeable link between virtue and physical appearance where the female characters are concerned. Evil women like Margrit of Arran and the behrtildes are tall and physically imposing, while good women are petite and physically retiring, like the demure Elfrida whose tiny body and meek personality are so enticing to her husband. It's taking a bit of will power for me to remember that the sequel series, "Rhiannon's Ride," has a big girl as its heroine.
Problems notwithstanding, I am thoroughly enjoying this series. I look forward to "The Forbidden Land," with its focus on Fionnghal, who hopefully will show her detractors that she has a lot more than diaper-changing to look forward to.

I enjoyed this book, but I'm starting to see there are a large number of parallels between this series and the Wheel of Time. The chapters were a little long for my taste, but some of the longer chapters were broken up with scene and character changes, which helped. The story kept building, and the plot twists kept coming, some of them guessable, others not. The climax and resolution didn't really exist, but since this is the third book, this is probably okay.

Brilliant! This series just keeps getting better and better! Lots of excitement and drama, fascinating politics, richly drawn characters, and an endlessly imaginative magical world.

Civil war and sea fairies tear Eileanan in pieces. Our heroes are in for a long haul in mending the land through war, knowledge, and old alliances.
This was a slow read, encompassing several years and seeing our characters move through changes of their own. Motherhood, responsibility, vengeance, finding one's own path... For me, it had a calming effect, following many characters around. They indeed grow and learn, but keep being their own imperfect self. Some of their choices still make no sense, and constant flight of the most dangerous enemies remind me of cartoons - villains live another day, so we can have 100 more episodes! But still, this series grew on me with its mix of lore, characters, and magic. Not the dialogue, though - that is still a chore at times.

This one took a while!
So I remember really enjoying this book last time around, and I still did. But there were certain storylines that I didn’t vibe with as much, ie, the wars. I wish I felt more for the characters than I did.
Isabeau, on the other hand, hell yes. I love how she finds the other part of her family and I think she grows a lot in this book. She’s no longer an irrational, curious teenager, she’s realised there are more responsibilities in life. Through her, we get to see the parts of Iseult’s life we never did and I love that.
The ending was weird, it was almost so wrapped up that it was like a series end, like a conclusion for many characters.
Book 4 doesn’t centre on Isabeau or Iseult, which puts me off a little bit, but I’m still ready to begin the adventures with Finn and her gang, bring it on!

I had originally thought I'd give this book 3 stars, but I was very happy with the ending. There were a lot of loose strings throughout that were intricately tied together by the end to move forward into the next book. I really appreciate the storyline of this whole series as well as the character building and dimensionality of a multitude of characters. This book felt like a tedium of listening to many battles and battle plans that made the middle drag on for what seemed like forever. I think there was a decent portion of this book that could have been cut out. However, I am ecstatic about this series as a whole and am excited to see how everything unfolds!
March 6, 2025
this book series has completely gripped me, and the directions Forsyth took this one in was unexpected and deepened my respect for her as an author. the foreshadowing is phenomenal yet she still hits us with many surprises, both happy and heartbreaking. I admire the sacrifices Isabaeu makes this book & I hope she gets everything she ever wanted.
June 15, 2020
The beginning of this book was great. The middle took FOREVER and the end was great. I just feel like some of it dragged on too much.

A lovely conclusion to the first arc of this series.
July 19, 2022
Well this one was seriously disappointing. I expected so much more after the first two books were so excellent. The narrator for the audiobooks has quickly become one of my favorite narrators. Even her singing is very good. I think it's partly her narration that helped me to get past the bulk of this book.
I love intricate and deeply involved fantasy stories. LOTR will forever be one of my favorite fantasy book series, with the "The Dark Tower", and "Otherland" series following closely behind. I was excited that I may have found another fantasy series to love, but this book was extremely boring. I really only enjoyed the parts about Isabeau and Lilanth.
The majority of this book focuses on the war between the Bright Soldiers of the forbidden lands and the forces of the Righ. I really did not like that the Bright Soldiers religion was based on Christianity. I hate it when authors get lazy and use an existing religion. It's always Christianity too and it gets old really fast hearing your religion being bashed. I knew there were correlations in the first two books, but they made sense. The witch hunts in Europe were awful. The slaughter of entire peoples by the Conquistadors was abhorrent! The Catholic Church and the Protestant Church did a lot of evil in the name of good. So, in the first two novels I was able to look past the similarities and enjoy the story. Unfortunately, it was impossible in this book. It is clear the author is not a fan of Christianity and it heavily influenced her writing. Beyond my personal feelings about this part of the book, it was also a boring story being told. The Bright Soldiers did not make for great villains. I wasn't rooting for them or anything, but they felt unnecessary. The entire reason for them being involved felt like a way to draw out the book. Get all that filler in there so there can be another book. Even the dragons coming to the attack was dull. If the Bright Soldiers had been removed from the book entirely, it would have been so much better. Isn't it enough that they are fighting two other forces? Three if you count Maya.
Then there is Lachlan and Iseult. I flat out do not like Lachlan and he only gets worse in each book. I didn't mind reading about his part of the story though until this book. He is disgustingly stupid and stumbling toward evil. He was going to kill a baby to keep his throne. He is willfully ignorant and doesn't listen to anyone except Iseult. I waver between slightly liking her and slightly disliking her. She didn't evoke str0ng feelings from me I guess. She becomes a bit of a wet dish rag in this book though. She doesn't stand up for her sister at all and seems to not care that her husband might murder a baby. Then again she couldn't even look at George because he had the disability of blindness. She was disgusted by him. I can say I actively dislike Iseult now as well.
I really liked Meagan and George in all the books, but Meagan was relegated to a side character for this book. The same goes for all the kids from Lucescere. I preferred reading about Dillon and his gang over Lachlan and Iseult.
Last there is my favorite character Isabeau. Her parts of the story were the best and if I had been reading this in print I might have skimmed the other parts and only read about her and Lilanth. I like her tender heartedness and perseverance. She makes some really stupid choices though and I have a hard time reconciling them. Why in the world would you help out Maya? The woman almost killed Meagan, Isabeau's adopted mother. And let's not forget that she was the reason all the witches were burned and the fairies slaughtered. Yes, she needed her to break the curse on Lachlan and change her father back into a man, but I would have handled it differently. Maya is a snake and cares only about herself. It was almost unbelievable that Isabeau let her leave and gave her Bronwen! I guess when you suddenly have a villain that can turn people into any creature she pleases, there isn't any use trying to fight her. Which means Maya is greatly overpowered now and it seems Bronwen will be too. Hopefully there will be some way that the author hobbles their powers.
Three down, three to go I suppose.

I really enjoyed this book, probably more than the previous two. I already know from reading Rhiannon's Ride that Maya isn't all bad, and it's nice to see more of her past, something I never learnt reading RR. She's certainly not as evil as Margrit - that is one power hungry lady.
We get to learn much more about the Khan'cohbans way of life and it's very interesting.
I really don't understand what Iseult sees in Lachlan, he's so moody all the time and it drives me crazy.
I did have to fight back tears at Jorge's death and felt very sad to know that Meagan will give herself up to the Mersmerdean.
All in all it was a rather gripping story, one that I always knew the ending to but never knew the process and I'm really enjoying finding out more about it.
It all makes me wish that RR showed more of the characters emotions, as I never really liked half of the characters in those books as much as I like them now, Dillon being a major one and Iseult another.
I feel if I were to read RR again after this I will look on it and its characters with new eyes.

I listened to this on Audible and Elle Newlands really brought the story to life. She makes you feel like you are right there in the story.
This is the third book in the 6 book series. I loved that this series is written with the accent of the auld ones and Elle really does a fabulous job narrating. I love the world-building and all of the characters in this series. There are times it feels like it dragging but it all comes together in the end. The book makes you fall in love with the characters and want to see what is going to happen.
This is not a quick read at 561 pages or 19 hours and 36 minutes of listening. But well worth it. I loved the story and can't wait to find out what happens in Book 4: The Forbidden Land.
P.S. If you love fantasy, fiction with a great world and characters this could be the book for you. If you haven't tried an audiobook I highly recommend this one. Elle Newlands is an excellent narrator.

This is the third book in the Witches of Eileanan series and I really enjoyed it. It took me a while to get into the story but once things got going it was pretty exciting. I think one of the reasons I didn't enjoy this book as much as the previous two was because it had a lot of focus on Iseult and I wasn't as interested in what she was doing compared to Isabeau. Either way I really enjoyed the book and can't wait to continue on with the series.
March 13, 2021
I don't know if it's the book, or if it's just that at book 3 I'm getting tired of narrator. I found myself getting distracted very easily from the story. I may have enjoyed this more if I'd read the printed version.
I started finding the characters annoying, particularly Lachlan. I also found I didn't care much what happened to the characters.
I may give this series another go in print, but won't continue with the audio.

I continue to enjoy reading about the twins' adventures. Dragons, faeries, witches, magic... can't go wrong! The supporting characters are also well developed, and their own stories are of interest, too. The plots keep developing, the existing characters continue to grow, and new ones are introduced here and there. So, while this was the end of book 3, I'm still happily along for the ride as it doesn't feel like some of those series that just drag along their story.

I’m still invested in the (many) characters in these books, but this third one involves a lot of war, which I personally found fairly slow and occasionally unpleasant. Isabeau has some awesome adventures and magical education, though! I’m curious about what will happen next. B+.

same with the other reviews, I liked the first 2 books but this one continued to drag on & on & on with unnecessary stuff. Even the way the war was described was sooo boring. Fantasy wars never bored or bothered me before but I pretty much skimmed half of the book
January 31, 2021
This was definitely my favourite book so far in this series! I felt like each seperate storyline was so interesting on its own and it all came together in the end so nicely. I love the characters and their development so far, especially since this book took place over 3 years. Amazing book!

Lachlan is probably the most annoying character. So doubtful of everyone and absolutely selffish. How does Iseult like him??
That being said I very much enjoyed this story. Lots of growth for many characters even when their time on the wheel takes another turn.

I love Isabeau but man, Lachlan is the worst. I have a hard time rooting for someone who is so arrogant and bad-tempered. This series does a great job with its women characters though, even the villains are impressive.
January 2, 2026
The pace of this book dragged a little in comparison to the first two, I think given it spans a longer period of time and we spend a lot of time in battle which becomes repetitive after a while. Otherwise fantastic characters and world building as always
