Find Full Review at http://www.readingangel.com/2011/09/witchlanders-ny-lena-coakley.htmlI really enjoyed this book. I loved that it was told from a male perspective, yet I was still able to connect with the characters and the story so completely. It would switch between the point of view of Ryder...

The blurb was what drew me to read this book in the first place.It's so intriguing to have a story with two POVs, and more especially two boys. And they can sing. So rare in books, even in fantasy, to have boys sing as their power. But oh boy, this book really pulled it off.I enjoyed the twist in th...

YAY for Witchlanders! I LOVED Witchlanders! WOOHOO! So, I got that out of my system, now on to the slightly more coherent part of this review ;) I could tell you that it's been a LOOOONG time since I last had male main characters capture my heart like Ryder and Falpian did. I could tell you there's ...

He just wants to live his lif...

Before I begin discussing the story, let me point out that the cover is entirely misleading. At least, it misled me into believing that the main character would be female. He is not. He has two sisters though, who might end up having their own stories somewhere down the line but Witchlanders has a m...

First of all this is a very misleading synopsis, so I suggest you disregard it.This book is pure fantasy YA, there is no love story here. The "beautiful and silent witch" mentioned is not even a secondary character, and she sure as hell doesn't hold any of Ryder's secrets! Sorry, bad descriptions ma...

Goodreads Summary:High in their mountain covens, red witches pray to the Goddess, protecting the Witchlands by throwing the bones and foretelling the future.It’s all a fake.At least, that’s what Ryder thinks. He doubts the witches really deserve their tithes—one quarter of all the crops his village ...

Not my usual cup of tea but still an enjoyable read. Refreshing to find a YA fantasy novel with a male protagonist. Should appeal to fans of fantasy novels with magic and witches and two sides to every story but always connected.The book summary is a bit misleading, less of the strange girl and more...
