Poor Lilette!Witch Rising by Amber Argyle in a prequel to the prequel. I know that sounds weird, but this little nugget of awesomesauce was so good. I find myself liking Lilette more than I liked Brusenna as a main character. The scene on the boat where they were attacked and she lost her parents hurt my heart.Argyle did an exquisite job of painting both the scene and the pain. Witch Rising is just as well written as Witch Song and Witch Born. The part I like most is it takes us back to before the wars started and lets us see how it all began. I wish we knew more about Fa and what his story was and how he knew the things he knew.Was he a guardian? A Seer? I don’t know, but I do know he was a good person. Fa was the one who found Lilette in the ocean and took her in to raise her as his own for as long as he could. I also loved Salfe and how he stood up to Bian, his Father, for Lilette.This was a quick story, but we got a lot of information about Lilette’s background in it and now I’m totally prepared to move right on to Witch Fall the next book in the series. Out all three books I’ve read so far Witch Rising has been my favorite.
