This is a short novella that comes after the first two books in the Witchlands series, before the most recent release. I heard some reviews mentioning that the plot of the novella is essential to the third book, so it was the natural next book to read.

Sightwitch is different to the other books in the series so far in a few ways. Firstly, this is an epistolary novel told in first person. I don't usually like epistolary novels, but this one really didn't read like one and it didn't inhibit my ability to enjoy the story. I am also not partial to first person stories, but I quite enjoyed it in this book.

In the story we follow a Sightwitch who feels an intense sense of responsibility and pressure by the role that has always been predicted of her and her journey to meet those expectations. I don't want to say anything else about the plot because the novella is so short, but I really enjoyed the story.

I also took a stupid amount to time to remember where I'd heard the name Ryber before in this series.
