Wicca #14
Full Circle
Hunter, Morgan, and Alisa. All three are witches, and each is in turmoil. Hunter feels stifled by the small town world of Widow's Vale. Morgan is terrified of the possibility of life without him. And Alisa is still coping with the knowledge that she is a witch--by blood. Together, the three worked together to defeat the most unspeakable evil known to witches. Now, the danger they face is just as deadly. But to vanquish their new foe, they must first defeat the weaknesses within themselves.

About the author
Cate Tiernan
104 books3,812 followers"was born in New Orleans, LA, in 1961. New Orleans is one of the most interesting American cities, and it has an incredibly rich and exotic culture that had a profound influence on me. Kids in other cities have lemonade stands; we sold voodoo gris-gris and made wax dolls in the likenesses of our enemies. It's a very beautiful city, and the constant heat and humidity make gardens grow out of control. There's an air of lassitude there, a general acceptance of eccentic or flamboyant behavior--the heat simply makes people do crazy things.
I went to school in New York, and after school went back to New Orleans. Then I went back to New York (Manhattan) and got a job in publishing and started writing. My first book, a young, middle-grade chapter book, was published in 1990.
Living in Manhattan was incredible, even though I didn't have a lot of money. There was so much to do and see, and so many interesting people to watch. There was a lot of frenetic energy there, and sometimes that felt very wearing and hard to live with. After eight years I was ready for a change, and my husband and I moved back to New Orleans. (Are you seeing a pattern here?)
(While I was in NY, I helped edit "The Secret Circle" by L.J. Smith. I thought it was great.)
We stayed in New Orleans five years. By the time we had two small children we knew we had to find someplace safer to live. I was glad my children were born in New Orleans--I had been born there, and my father had, and his father had, and his father had and so on. There was something about the connection of generations of blood coming from one place that I found very primal and important.
Now I live in a cohousing community in Durham, NC. This is the most suburban place I've ever lived, and it's very different from living right in the middle of a city. For one thing, there aren't enough coffee shops. However, it's incredibly safe, and the community is very important to me. There are a lot of strong women here, and I find them inspiring.
Am I a witch? Well, no. Even Wicca is too organized a religion for me. I'm much more idiosyncratic and just need to do my own thing, which is kind of new-agey and pantheistic. It's not that I don't work or play well with others, but I need to decide for myself when I do a certain thing, and how I do it. However, I can really relate to Wicca, and I so appreciate its woman-centeredness and its essentially female identity. I love those aspects, among others.
I have several favorite writers. Barbara Hambly has been the biggest influence on how I describe magic. She's an incredibly imaginative and empathetic writer with a gift for creating a rich, sensual world. I love Barbara Pym, an English writer whose books came out mostly in the fifties. She was a master at describing the thousand tiny moments that make up a woman's day; how the seemingly small and inconsequential thing can suddenly take on a huge emotional importance. I greatly admire P.D. James. She's one of the very few writers who makes me actually look up words in the dictionary. She has a beautiful, precise, educated command of the language that leaves me in awe. I love Philip Larkin's poetry. I read a lot of nonfiction and also have some favorite romance writers. Before anyone groans, let me say that these women write really well about women trying to achieve emotional fulfillment, and that's kind of what we're all doing, right? I also just like reading about sex. Anyway, Jennifer Crusie, Susan Elizabeth Phillips, and early Linda Howard are my faves.
And then of course there's my dark side, but more on that later.

.... this really came Full Circle in a pretty underwhelming way.

So I didn't realize when I started this book, that this is basically the end of Morgan's story. As I understand it, the last book follows her daughter. It will be interesting to see how everything turns out though. This book was pretty good. Switched POV between Morgan and Hunter. I like Hunter but I prefer Morgan's POV.

You know a series is amazing when it’s been 18 years since you first read it, yet nothing has changed. Loved it just as much the second time around.
Forever, and always, one of my favorites!

Never read this one before.
So I was keen to get stuck into this but it's left me with conflicting emotions.
Alright, let's get started, Spoilers below!
I'll give this book a 3.5 star rating I'm still keen to read the final book, but looking forward to finishing this series! :)

The Sweep series was given to me by my 2nd cousin-in-law. Weird, I know. She said that I would really enjoy this series because it was similar to Twilight (which at the time I was going through my Twilight-phase). Now, about three or four years later, I am still trying to finish the series and so is my roommate. She finally caught up to me and we decided to read the last two books out loud... in a cemetery... at night for maximum "spookiness". Although these books aren't that spooky, but that is beside the point. Mostly I think I enjoyed this book so much because of the fact that I have so many beautiful memories associated with it. In fact, based on that I would give it 5 STARS!
Tara's personal diary from this book:
1) First trip to the cemetery: complete with me being blindfolded and led around for 5 years and Kelly being scared because she was walking around in the dark "by herself" while I was blindfolded looking for the perfect gravestones to sit at. Tuna sandwich picnic. Yum! Having to use Kelly's phone for a flashlight...
2) The cemetery in my room: complete with Kelly being blindfolded, led out of the house, me "forgetting something" and taking her back to the "cemetery" in my room. The running water sound effect. Albacore tuna sandwich picnic. Yum!
3)Second trip to the *real* graveyard: complete with taking an hour to find the perfect spot... again. Minnieolas!!! *Attempting* to smoke the barnyard flavored cigar. Freezing to death. The return to the car, only to realize I dropped my keys somewhere in the cemetery. Trying to find our reading spot in the dark. Success! Find keys. Go to Wendy's. Finish book. Mark a book off of our goodreads challenge!!!!
This is my real life. Be jealous.

This is technically the final book in the official Wicca/Sweep series, as far as I can tell. And I thought it was a really good ending! The book returns to a dual narrative from the perspectives of both Morgan and Hunter, and I was happy to be back in their heads, particularly at this late stage in the series.
There was quite a lot of action in this book, a lot of which I wasn't expecting. I liked the alternating between the slightly less serious storyline of an errant witch using dark magick, and the storyline of Morgan and her tormenting nightmares. I also really enjoyed all the mentions of the celebrations the covens were hosting for Beltane, and the descriptions definitely gave me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
One more book to go now, the sort of standalone end to the series Night's Child! This book is set 20 years or so later I believe, so it should be interesting to see how it compares to this book.

I’m almost to the end of the series. With one book left, I’m not sure I’m emotionally ready to finish this series. I love it so much. I love Hunter and Morgan. I love their relationship and I love what they do individually as witches. I need to go prepare for this last book.

Plot
There are about two things going on in Full Circle, neither of which seem all that important. For the first plot point, someone from Morgan’s past is back to take revenge on her or something. It’s very drawn out, with a nice chunk of text focused on the dreams that Morgan is having. The second plot point has no real relevance that I can see. It’s basically Hunter dealing with a potential dark witch even though he is no longer a sequel. Both of these things are probably establishing something for the next, and final, book: Night’s Child. So, this is another setup book, even though the Sweep series has already seen enough of them. This is another book that you might be able to just skip.
Writing
The POV switches between Hunter and Morgan because Hunter has his own little thing going on. Like I’ve said in previous reviews, there isn’t a big difference in Morgan and Hunter’s voices, even though they are two totally different people. There’s such an obvious lack of showing in this series, this book especially, that it’s not funny. There is no reason to fall victim to the “show, don’t tell” problem when the book is in first person. We’re constantly told how Hunter and Morgan feel about things, but they never give any physical indication. Morgan gets scared but her skin never gets clammy, her pulse doesn’t race, her mouth doesn’t get dry, etc. All hunter does is clench his teeth in anger but we never hear about his heart beating faster or the feeling of his teeth grinding together. This is a problem.
Characters
About eighty percent of the background characters have apparently fallen of the face of the Earth in Full Circle. We hear very little about them and instead focus on brand new background characters, like Patrice, Robin, and Celia. All of these new people in the second to last book, but why? Hunter and Morgan are as they always are, just there. At this point in the series I can honestly say I don’t care about the fate of either one of them. They mean nothing to me. I have formed no attachments to them emotionally because I was never really forced to like them at all.
Things I Liked
There is a bit of “chosen one” talk in the book, but Morgan doesn’t seem to be the only one. People like her show up every couple of centuries, apparently. That doesn’t mean I like that aspect of it, but I’m glad that Morgan isn’t the only person like this to exist.
Things I Didn't Like
On the other hand, I still can’t stand “chosen one” characters unless the author figures out a way to spin the trope on its head. Morgan is supposedly this person who’s supposed to bring change to the Woodbane clan, even though they’re not really a clan anymore, and haven’t been for the past couple of hundred years. There’s a lot of discussion about how Morgan is just so powerful and special but I’m not seeing it. It’s been stated that Morgan has a lot of raw power, but she isn’t all that powerful because she lack’s training and knowledge. I’m just not buying it. We’ve never been explicitly shown exactly what makes Morgan so special, except for the fact that she is a powerhouse.
Diversity
We get a brief visit from Morgan’s Aunt Eileen and her Jewish girlfriend Paula. Sky and Raven seem like they could get back together, but I doubt it. That’s about it. There was only the barest mention of Alisa, the only confirmed non-white character with a name, in Full Circle.
Overall
Full Circle feels like another setup book. The real action will take place in the next book, I assume. Anything that actually happened was very predictable and/or was used to wrap up any loose threads/plot points from the earlier books. You could probably skip this book and not miss much, seeing as how Morgan has a penchant for recapping what happened previously. The best thing about this book is that it means I’m almost done with this series.
Here is a link to my notes.

This book was good. It had a few surprises up its sleeve. I liked that the story line was back to the average Morgan/Hunter theme.
It dealt with a growing discontentment with the council, which I think will continue in the last installment. While I really like this series and I am still very interested to see how everything will turn out in the various story lines, I feel like Morgan and Hunter have not really developed as a couple. They started out with a lot of character growth but for the past 3 or 4 books they have kind of been stuck in the same place. I hope this changes in the next book.
Another thing I noticed is that a number of new characters have been introduced in the last few books and in this book they took center stage over some of the original characters( like Robbie and Bree)I liked reading about Hunter's dad but I kind of miss Robbie.
Overall, this book fit in very well with the series. There were some great new developments in the picture of Wicca that Cate Tiernan paints so well. I really enjoy reading and learning about Wicca through these books and this one was no disappointment in that area.
I am sad that I only have one book left in the series and I am reluctant to start reading it because I dont want it to be over.

ÇA c’est censé être la fin de l’histoire de Morgan (sachant que le tome 15 se passe plusieurs années plus tard) ?? Quelle déception après QUATORZE fucking tomes.
Bon, les répétitions de début de série ont disparu et l’histoire était okay, mais faire revenir un personnage mort depuis je sais pas combien de tomes juste pour faire une « finale », alors que rien ne présageais ça…. gros bof. Ça sent le « ça fait 5 tomes que je n’ai plus d’idées donc on va dire que ce sera ça ». Comment prendre les lecteurs pour des cons.
Donc je suis déçue, mais en même temps je me dis que je vais avoir ENFIN lu cette série au complet lorsque j’aurais terminé le dernier tome. Plus que un. Pour l’oublier ad vitam aeternam ensuite!!!

Dans ce tome, Morgan fait un rêve récurrent : un faucon et Cal !
Comment se fait-il qu’il réussit à s’introduire dans ses rêves , vu qu’il est mort !
De son côté Hunter décide de démissionner de son travail d’investigateur et continue de renouer avec son père !
Un autre roman rempli d’action où le point de vue des personnages change d’un chapitre à l’autre.

Ok, this was fun. It's about their daily lives and hints about where the series will be heading. Idk why I expected things to go wrong.

A great read, and good to be back to reading it through Morgan. I enjoyed Hunter's chapters as well now that he isn't acting like a damn fool.

I hope the series picks back up. I enjoyed the series greatly in the beginning, but now the author struggles to keep the plot interesting.

I only read this to see how the series ended. The quality decreased with every new book.

This one wasn't the worst in the series, but I can't say that I enjoyed it.
I'm glad the next one is the last, as they're seriously dragging now.

Ironically, reading the first two pages of the next book knocked this score down .25 stars for me.
So yeah, once again another book in the series that didn't need to happen. So much wasted time and paper into these over fleshed out stories. There's no reason this series should be literally over 3,000 pages. It should be like 4-5 300 to 350 page books. This whole book could have been 90 pages.
I didn't really care about Morgan's dreams and because of all of the unnecessary details in this, I was extremely bored until the last 60 pages or so.
The ending was better than most: I feel like our characters are finally actually doing something that doesn't leave them in basically the same situation at the end of every book.
Hunter is actually the least obnoxious, possibly even generally likable character for me, so having half the book with him made it easier to get through.
This is full of YA clichés, but I'm giving it a pass considering it did actually come out before YA was a really popular thing and making everything redundant.
The writing in this was also notably better too, especially considering the last books sloppiness.
There's no other way to wrap up this book other than saying that this series is ridiculously and pointlessly long, and over half the book I just kept mentally repeating "when. will. this. END. ALREADY." I'm almost at the finish line with this series and I couldn't be happier.

J'hésite à mettre trois étoiles. Ça se lit vite, mais je n'ai pas été convaincu par l’intrigue. Pourquoi Selene, la mère de Cal, revient alors que ça fait plus de cinq tomes qu'elle est morte ? Parce qu'il fallait un nouveau méchant ? Mais alors, pourquoi s'être déjà débarrassé du père de Morgan qui était de base de grand méchant de la saga ? J'ai bien aimé avoir les deux points de vue de Morgane et Hunter, ça, c'était cool. Mais je trouve une fois de plus les décisions des personnes très peu réalistes. Morgane fait des rêves bizarres, qui se répètent et qui lui font peur. Girl c'est pas la première fois que tu fais des rêves prémonitoires ou du moins qui on un sens caché. Je ne comprends pas pourquoi elle n'en parle pas a Hunter. Puis à la fin, Morgane qui débloque le pouvoir de soigner les maladies en phase terminale. The fuck.
Mais j'ai bien aimé la résolution des deux histoires. Le combat contre Selene, et le fait qu'ils scellent les pouvoir de Patricia. Ça, c'était sympa. Je suis contente que l'arc Morgane/Hunter s’arrête sur le départ de cette dernière pour réellement aller étudier la magie. J'avoue avoir quand même hâte de lire le tome 15, qui s'annonce très différent des quatorze précédents.
À dessiner : Un faucon, un lit d’hôpital, une cascade, une tasse de thé

Mais j'ai bien aimé la résolution des deux histoires. Le combat contre Selene, et le fait qu'ils scellent les pouvoir de Patricia. Ça, c'était sympa. Je suis contente que l'arc Morgane/Hunter s’arrête sur le départ de cette dernière pour réellement aller étudier la magie. J'avoue avoir quand même hâte de lire le tome 15, qui s'annonce très différent des quatorze précédents.
À dessiner : Un faucon, un lit d’hôpital, une cascade, une tasse de thé

October 2022 re-read, paperback.
I first read this series twenty (?!) years ago and when I saw most of the series available at a library booksale, I snatched it up for a re-read.
I have been very conscientious the last few years in what media I consume, putting an emphasis on "whatever is good" (Phil 4:8) and I can say that the magic(k) in these books is so over the top they reach Harry Potter like levels of fantasy. The compulsion to keep reading comes from the interpersonal drama and slowly revealed backstory of the main character. That being said, pick these up with a healthy dose of discernment. They remind me of a WB teen drama (have I sufficiently dated myself yet?) and one can't tear through them fast enough.
I think books 1-6 are the strongest, with a satisfying arc that resembles the first season of a TV show. Around 7-8 the magic(k) goes way beyond plausibility, 9 is where the narrative begins to lose steam, and 10-14 are titles narrated by other characters that takes away from the story's focus. The introduction of Alisa as a 'spin-off' main character in 12 feels pointless when she's given a storyline almost identical to Morgan's.
*What a lackluster ending. The return of Selene felt lazy after all of the previous events.

Por fin esta historia intensa de amor, llena de magia , hechizos y peligros y leei de primera mano y vivi junto con Morgan y Hunter a llegado a su fin.
Pero no todo será color de rosa para Morgan y Hunter ya que vuelve a parecer un viejo enemigo del pasado que ellos dos creian que habian derrotado para siempre, esa amenaza y viejo enemigo es Selene Belltower que ellos creian que habia muerto junto con su hijo Call, regresa para vengarse de Morgan para destruirla y volver a intentar quitarle sus poderes para apropiarse de ellos y tenerlos para sí misma.
Pero esta vez Morgan no está sola y cuenta con la ayuda de Hunter Alissa ya que ambos son brujas de sangre como ella, para ayudarla a derrotar a Selene Belltower para siempre ya que es una amenaza y que atenta contra la vida de Morgan y también atenta contra el mundo Wicca.

Pour moi ce fut un tome un peu en dessous des derniers que j'ai lu, je pense que Morgan me tape un peu sur les nerfs parce que les passage où elle était la narratrice sont ceux que j'ai moins apprécié. J'ai bien aimé l'enquête que mène Hunter. La fin était vraiment bien, mais j'avoue que j'ai eu plus de misère à m'accrocher à cette lecture et je l'ai étiré un peu. Heureusement, que le dernier tome nous amène ailleurs je m'y mets très bientôt.

4 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ star read for me overall! I enjoyed the fact that we were now back to Morgan and Hunter with the book alternating between the two perspectives. I also enjoyed the two plot lines with Hunter’s investigations of Patrice and Morgan’s nightmares, although I must admit I found the Selene/Morgan hawk showdown at the end a little far fetched and ridiculous. Like the previous book, I found the book lacked the suspense and action of previous books in the series. Not a favourite for me in the series but still worth reading! Can’t believe I have now nearly finished the series 😮😞

REREAD/RELECTURE // I'm screaaaaming! J'ai tellement aimé ce livre. Ce tome avait le trio Morgan/Hunter/Cal, c'est-à-dire toute ma vie. Et je sais pas, le sortilège contre Selene était juste insane et Hunter et Morgan ont atteint un niveau tellement mature et sain de leur relation, ils s'admirent et je trouvais juste ça beau. 9/10

I was confused by the title, as there is 15th book and full circle means the end. The plot was quite slow to pick up but having the another subplot in there (the witch from the other town apart from Morgan's dreams) kinda drove it somewhat forward. Also, Morgan can now .

Probably my favourite of the series so far, I love everything about Morgan in this book, especially the tiny scene with Joshua. I’m not sure what’s to come in the next and final book and do hope the author treats my favourite characters with care...

These were my favorite books when I was young - they were the first books I stayed up until my eyes couldn’t stay open because I had to know what happened next. Cant quite put my finger on what made them so special to me but I reread them every few years when I need to.
