HER WORLD-ALTERING SECRET CAN'T BE HIDDEN MUCH LONGER

Elloren Gardner hides the most powerful secret in all Erthiaâ??she is the Black Witch of Prophecy, and destined to triumph...or be used as the ultimate weapon of destruction.
Separated from everyone she loves, isolated and hunted, Elloren must turn to the last person she can trustâ??her fastmate, Commander Lukas Grey. With the Mage forces of Gardneria poised to conquer all of Erthia, Elloren has no choice but to ally with Lukas and combine their power to keep herself out of the hands of Gardnerian leader Marcus Vogel...the holder of the all-consuming Shadow Wand.
With just weeks to train to become a warrior, and no control over her magic, Elloren finds unexpected allies among those under orders to kill her. It's time to step up. To fight back. And to forge onward through the most devastating loss yet.
Critics are raving about Laurie Forest's incredible debut, The Black Witch:

"Exquisite character work, an elaborate mythology, and a spectacularly rendered universe make this a noteworthy debut, which argues passionately against fascism and xenophobia." â??Publishers Weekly, starred review

It Finally Arrived!!!!! Dropping all of the books I am currently reading to binge this right now. Already not prepared for the wait on book 4.

I am kind of heartbroken. I still love this series but this book was filler. I don't feel that anything really happened and I was able to guess where things were going at quite a few points. The ending was not surprising and I already have more theories to where this is going.

My biggest pet peeve with this book is that something that you have known is going to happen since book one, and were highly anticipating (or at least I was), was thrown in as an "oh, by the way, this happened".

This is still my favorite YA series and I will finish it and binge re-read them all before the next book. Looking forward to book 4 when things hopefully start to come together. ( )

Ich gebe es zu, ich hatte erwartet, dieses sei der dritte und letzte Band der Reihe um die Schwarze Zauberin Elloren Gardner. Aber die Geschichte ist noch nicht zu Ende...

Gardneria weitet seine Machtansprüche aus und macht seine Grenzen magisch dicht - um die Bevölkerung vor der "schmutzigen" Magie der anderen Völker zu schützen (gleichzeitig wird so aber auch die Flucht aus dem Land verhindert). Und während es offiziell bei Höchststrafe verboten ist, sich anderer Magie als der den Magiern von Gardneria zugehörigen zu bedienen, ist es ausgerechnet Vogel, der Höchste Magier, der sich dunkelster Magie bedient.

Noch ist keinem in Gardneria bewusst, welche magischen Kräfte Elloren, Enkelin der Schwarzen Zauberin, wirklich hat - als Leser bekommt man auf den ersten Seiten einen Eindruck davon. Und dann ist Elloren vor allen auf der Flucht und der sicherste Ort scheint dann doch Gardneria zu sein, wenn sie sich unter den Schutz ihres magischen Partners, Lukas Grey, stellt. Doch diese Sicherheit ist trügerisch.

Der dritte Band der Serie bringt Lukas und Elloren wieder zusammen, man erlebt, wie restrektiv die gardnerische Gesellschaft geworden ist und wie stark die Unterdrückung all derer vorangeschritten ist, die keine Gardnerier sind. Unterbrochen wird Ellorens Geschichte dann immer wieder von anderen Schauplätzen, in denen es um den Aufbau einer vereinigten Armee geht, die sich Gardneria entgegenstellt. Und Elloren erhält jetzt doch eine Ausbildung - immer unter dem Druck, dass Vogel ihr nachstellt und ihre Kräfte zu seinen machen möchte.

Eine spannender dritter Teil, in dem vieles passiert, der manchmal, insbesondere in Bezug auf Ellorens Ausbildung, aber auch auf der Stelle tritt. Aber wenn ich den Schluss richtig interpretiere, kommt es wohl im vierten Band zum großen Finale, bei dem Elloren eine wichtige Rolle spielen wird.

Man sollte aber unbedingt die ersten beiden Bände der Black Witch Saga gelesen haben. ( )

I was so excited to get approved to read this book! Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this amazing book by Laurie ! For a 640 page book, well let's just say I devoured it! Laurie Forest continues to weave the magical spell that is the Black Witch Chronicles. Her writing is so utterly beautiful and engrossing, it was definitely hard to put down. The way she describes everything in such gorgeous detail is something I love about this series, As I got closer to the end I realized that there would be yet another book in this series and I was so freaking happy!
So the books starts off with Elloren is instructed to go back home and seek the protection of Lukas Grey. The reason? Their potential allies have found out that she is the Black Witch of prophecy and are going to send assassins to kill her. Will Lukas help her? Should she trust him with the secret?
Elloren must learn to control her powers before Marcus Vogel captures her and uses her for his own plans. Her friends and family are scattered across the continent with their own battles to win.
I loved this book. Seriously, this will be a series that I can read again and again. ( )
