Wit’ch War (Banned & the Banished Book 3) by James Clemens (MOBI)

Description

In her hands, the young wit’ch Elena holds the awesome energies of blood magick–and more. For the fate of all Alasea hinges on her recovery of the Blood Diary, a potent talisman forged five hundred years ago, then locked away behind wards too strong for any mage to break. But only with the secrets recorded in its pages can Elena defeat the evil magicks of the Dark Lord. The challenge? The Diary lies hidden in A’loa Glen, the fabled city that belongs to Shorkan, chief lieutenant of the Dark Lord, and his fearsome army.

Now, with the aid of the ocean-dwelling Sy-wen and her great dragon, Elena prepares a desperate invasion of A’loa Glen. At her side stands the one-armed warrior Er’ril, her faithful protector and the only man who knows how to unlock the wards surrounding the Blood Diary–a man who also happens to be the brother of the dreaded Shorkan.

Meanwhile, Elena’s brother, whose magick brings him prophetic dreams, has glimpsed a future in which Elena falls by the deadly sword of . . . Er’ril. But his visions do not always come true. How can he act against his sister’s trusted guardian on the basis of a future betrayal that may never happen? For Elena’s sake, and for the sake of all Alasea, how can he afford not to?

Review “Clemens has constructed a world of magic that’s never been seen before, with a cast of beings who are so engaging and entrancing that you never want the story to end.”–JOHN SAULFrom the Trade Paperback edition.

⭐ In the third installment of The Banned and the Banished series, the action reaches a climax of sorts. Finally we get a direct confrontation between Elena and the powers of the Dark Lord. We also get the long-anticipated match-up between Er’ril and his doomed brother Sorkhan. A lot of the groundwork for this book was laid in the first two novels, and Clemens does not waste space with unnecessary details here. It is all action and it is presented at a break-neck pace. That is not to say that the scope of the story doesn’t continue to expand. On the contrary, we continue to be introduced to new characters and new plot-lines, some of which seem almost unrelated to the central story of Elena and company. Mycelle’s being diverted by a prince-in-need seemed out of left field, and could have just as well been left out. The compelling cast of characters continues to mature here, especially Elena, who is becoming more willing to accept her role and showing less hesitation in her decisions. The relationship between her and Er’ril is perhaps the best aspect of these books, and continues to develop in compelling ways. This is a solid installment in the series.All of that being said, these are still only middle-of-the-road fantasy adventures. Predictable and immature, stereotypical characters, and an abundance of dues-ex-machina result in a fun and easy read, but not hugely impactful or meaningful. I’m on the fence about starting the next in the series.

⭐ Great books! Very under-appreciated. As a heads-up for James Rollins fans, they’re the same guy. His non-fantasy writing is a bit more polished, but this story was pretty darned good, and he wasn’t trying to retell Lord of the Rings or Wheel of Time. Also true to Rollins/Clemens fashion, there will be bad guys that you hate so much you want to pull off your own arm and beat them to death with it, were it the only potential weapon available.

⭐ It’s been a while since I’ve read a book that’s had such a gripping effect on me. To say the least, Wit’ch War was an amazing read. Clemens really outdoes himself, with both plot originality and pacing. I first picked up The Banned and the Banished series because my friend wouldn’t stop raving about it. I have to admit, I wasn’t all that impressed by the first book of the series; I thought Clemens was trying too hard, with too much plot and action and not enough attention on making his prose flow as well as possible. Needless to say, he has definitely come a long way since the first book. The second book of the series was WAY better, and this one, number three in the series, truly lived up to and BEYOND my expectations for it. I’m so glad I purchased a copy of this book. It was worth every penny.For more of my review, check my blog: […]

⭐ First and foremost, why has this series not been made into a movie yet?This third book explores the relationship angles and emotional unraveling of existing characters amid a buildup to a climatic war. After the first two books, this starts off a little slow, which is expected to pave way to the adrenalin rush of the war. But the wait is worth it.My only complaint was of a lot of the typos and weak editing in the third book. “What does the Weir do?” became “What does the Weirdo?”. Not enough to irritate but still rather obvious. On to the fourth book!

⭐ Anything James Rollins writes (James Clemens in this case) I like. This is a continuation of the Witch series. Good story line. The only book I had trouble with was the first book in the series because the author had to go into a lot of detail to explain all the characters.

⭐ I waited for this book for a year and it certainly didn`t let me down. The plot thickens and there are some interesting twists to the story.I appreciate the fact that the characters are not 100% good or bad.As I`ve said in a review of the previous installments, Mr. Clemens writes very entertaining fantasy fiction that is easy to follow though in no way do I perceive his writing as simple. He respects his readers` intelligence. I strongly advise not starting with this book. Why miss out on the fun of the first and second volume?

⭐ Enjoyed the story. Interesting combination of creatures. Well developed plot. Ending was unexpected but pleasant (no cliff hanger0. No clear idea of what to expect in the next sequel. I do like the way Rollins presents the episodes to keep your interest flowing.

⭐ Rollins brought so.much into the plots simply excellent reading. {Clemens is Rollins}

⭐ The title says it all… With many series, later books may begin to wane a bit, but that is not the case with this series. Each of these has proven more fun and engaging than the previous entry. This is mainly owed to the author’s talent at developing dynamic characters and creating an intriguing world.

⭐ Sadly, I can only give this book 3 stars. I loved each of the previous books in this series. However, I find that this one is tedious and tiresome. Though I only have about 5% left to read, I find myself skimming through paragraphs. This is the part of the book where I’m supposed to be waiting with bated breath, anxious to find out the whole story yet sad that my “relationship” with this book is amost over. Instead, I find that I’m more than ready for this one to come to an end. I think I’ll take a breather before I go on to read the final 2 books.
