review 1: Although this novel is the second in this fantasy series, it stands alone well enough that I didn't feel lost. I will certainly go back and read the first one now, so that I can wallow in the details that were hinted at in this book. Now, I'd call this fantasy with a historical (mythology) bent, with the added bonus of a neatly set-up love triangle. It's also the story of a young woman coming into her self and her power, so as such the novel has an uplifting quality to is as well. Witch Bound is well-written and compelling. I loved the magic system and mythological details that were sewn into the story line. The romance bits weren't half-bad either. Especially the chemistry between the the ones who weren't supposed to be attracted to each other. It's a must ... moreread!
review 2: Witch Bound was a really good read, and I loved it! Exciting and different with a mix of magic and Viking lore to give it that little something to make it stand out from the rest of the crowd. I hadn't read the first book in the Twilight of the Gods Series, but you can be sure I'll be looking for it now. The author did a fabulous job writing this book, and has gained a very devoted fan in me! Raquel is just someone that I had no trouble liking, she is strong and talented and not afraid to do whatever she has to in order to help the people in her new town. She is incredibly gifted magically, but has a kind of block keeping her from using her magic fully. Fen is a Hound, and has sworn to never take a mate because he's seen how badly a poor mating can turn out. Needless to say he resists falling for Raquel as best he can. I love a story that makes me really wonder if a couple are going to be able to make it against the odds the way this one did. This was the best book I had read in a while. It was unique, not a lot of paranormal romance deals with Viking lore the way this one does, and interesting enough kept me flipping the pages as fast as I could to find out how it all would end. The characters were very likeable and there are even a couple side characters that I'd like to see get their own story. Even though this book is the second in the series you could read it and not be too lost, but as usual I recommend reading the first book first. Overall great read!***Review copy provided by the publisher via Netgalley for my honest review*** less
