REVIEW: Witchrise by Victoria Lamb

October 22, 2014 by Jaime Leave a Comment

WITCHRISE (THE TUDOR WITCH TRILOGY #3)
By: Victoria Lamb
Publication Date: September 30, 2014
Witchrise (The Tudor Witch Trilogy, #3)
Only one witch can rise above the coming storm …

When Tudor witch Meg Lytton receives an unexpected legacy – her mother’s magical wand, ring and spellbook – she has no idea her future happiness is in danger. For the witchfinder Marcus Dent is back in her dreams, and he will use any weapon to gain her newfound powers for himself.

Now Meg must discover the secret of Invictus, her mother’s magical ring. Summoned back to Hatfield, she knows a battle is coming. But Meg is no longer alone in her struggle against Dent. Surrounded by her friends, she faces her greatest challenge head-on: losing Alejandro, her beloved. For it seems the Spanish novice has been keeping secrets from them all.

Powers clash and hearts break in the spellbinding third book of The Tudor Witch Trilogy.

Erin’s Thoughts

Witchrise by Victoria Lamb
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars

Witchrise by Victoria Lamb is the final book in the Tudor Witch trilogy and I thought Lamb wrapped this one up well.

The book opens with Meg living at her father’s house with Alejandro and Richard. She is also working with Richard to reach Meg’s mother in the afterlife as they are hoping to get some answers from her directly. As they come face to face with Catherine, she shows them (kind of) where she hid her spell book, athame, and some other magical items. Once Meg finds them, she comes to realize exactly how powerful these magical tools are and what that means for her.

Meg is still the same character. She is tough and independent. She definitely doesn’t want her reputation to affect Alejandro which is why she continues to put off telling him whether she will marry him or not. On top of that, she knows that since she is a commoner and English and he is a noble and Spanish, they could never really marry…despite what he really thinks. Add to that the fact that he wants her to give up her magic and she knows they could never really be together. Even though she knows this, she is very reluctant to give Alejandro up as she truly does love him. Eventually she does push him back into Princess Elizabeth’s household as her father doesn’t want him to be under his roof.

As Meg continues to dig into her mother’s past as well as the magical items she found, she finds out Marcus Dent is still a threat to her and those she loves. He continues to attack her and as he does so, he finds out about the athame and the ring she carries. When he has the opportunity, he does whatever is in his power to get these items from Meg and tries to get his revenge against her.

The secondary characters Lamb writes definitely add to the story. Richard is Meg’s support in magic, Alejandro is the man she loves and will do whatever he can to protect her (whether she wants him to or not), and Elizabeth is the princess who commands Meg and even provides her a bit of protection every now and then. I have to admit, there were times that I was annoyed with Elizabeth…mostly because of the things she would ask Meg to do for her and then turn around and get angry or break the rules when she didn’t hear what she wanted.

I don’t want to say too much about the story as I don’t want to give anything away. I think if you enjoyed the first two books of this series, you will find that this one is a solid conclusion. There were times that the story moved a bit slowly but overall I felt there was enough action, swoony bits, and story to keep it moving along. I did enjoy how Lamb wrapped this one up for Meg and I look forward to reading more from Lamb in the future.

Thank you to Netgalley and Harlequin Teen for the review copy.
