The New York Times bestselling series!
“Maximum suspense, unusual magic—a whole new, thrilling approach to fantasy!” —Tamora Pierce, #1 New York Times bestselling author
Powerful magic. A deadly legacy. A world at the edge of war. Prepare to be spellbound by fantasy series, The Black Witch Chronicles.
Elloren Gardner is the spitting image of her grandmother, who drove back the enemy forces in the last Realm War. But while her people believe she will follow in her grandmother's footsteps and become the next Black Witch of prophecy, Elloren is devoid of power in a society that prizes magical ability above all else.
When she is granted the opportunity to pursue her dream of becoming an apothecary, Elloren joins her brothers at Verpax University. But she soon realizes that the university may be the most treacherous place of all for the granddaughter of the Black Witch.
As evil looms and the pressure to live up to her heritage builds, Elloren's best hope of survival may be among a secret band of rebels…if only she can find the courage to trust those she’s been taught to fear.

A true study of how religion and prejudice are key oppressive tools of power. Wrapped in high fantasy valour, a journey of discovering societies dark truths. The author writes cleverly and depicts a well-thought out and intricate world of politics and racism all under the cloak of magic.

I have so many thoughts about this book. For almost 2/3 of the book, the main character is bland and prejudiced. I wanted to stop listening during that part. The only thing that pushed me further was comments that she seeks truth and is insightful. I know that the author tried to describe the world full of prejudice, but it almost forces you to quit. I also feel like the main character is neither intelligent nor brave, but I guess she will develop throughout the series. It's a veery slow burn, the same for the romance. Ot has a potential though.

Like the way the slow deconstruction of prejudices is shown.
