Wandfasted The Black Witch Chronicles eBook Laurie Forest

This was not what I expected to get out of Wandfasted, but I am SO happy I read it. I won't waste time telling you what this novella is about, because you have a perfectly well written synopsis above.
Things I liked:
Finding out where Vale and Tess came from
The very dark beginning
How well it was written
The peeks into the war
Character development

It was a page tuner, and I never wanted to put the book down.

What I didn't like:
My biggest critic of the book, is that it just didn't feel like we really needed the novella. By that I mean, It didn't really add anything new to the story. It added a few characters, and maybe some setup for the book to come in the next book! However, it felt like it was just a lot of info dumping.
The ending left me feeling very happy, BUT I was expecting a little more conflict to be sprinkled throughout the book.
Romance- I just really don't read a lot of Romance to begin with. So I was surprised that it became the main focus of this books plot. Vale and Tess are a fine couple! I just did not expect this novella to focus so heavily on their relationship, and not the war.

Wandfasted The Black Witch Chronicles eBook Laurie Forest Reviews

Laurie Frost is a literary genius. Wandfasted was written with such unique, brilliant, and unfathomable talent and effortless ease. I want and need more. I didn't realize it was almost over and I sat reading the last page wishing I could drown myself in the story - in their lives- to know everything that happened afterwards. The way that Frost makes you love her characters and the meaning she puts behind the story is truly the work of one in a million authors. I'm sitting here in awe. If you haven't read The Black Witch and then IMMEDIATELY DEVOUR WANDFASTED.
I am completely overwhelmed with obsession to read The Iron Flower (which doesn't
get released until Sept. 2018! What am I go to do?!?? Laurie, you are such a sincerely brilliant author and person. You have a forever fan here with me (@ yetstillshereads ) and Nox to Lumos Candle Co. noxtolumoscandleco.etsy.com
Nice as a filler waiting for the next novel after The Black Witch. Addictive but rushed and seems to be more like a pilot or story idea for the black witch. Enjoyed reading it but wished it was deeper and more eloquent. Excited for this author to keep improving.
I am not a fan of prequel's and I actually missed the part that said this was a prequel, so for the first dozen chapters I was disappointed because Elloren never showed up. Duh. It's not about her. I recommend reading this one before the Black Witch because then the players make more sense. That said, you must read this! It is every bit as good as The Black Witch. Ms. Forest is an extraordinary storyteller and the characters in this book are delightful and romantic. Her use of magic is well thought out. Many of her character's insightful comments are really relevant. Once again, brilliant work.
I am extremely disappointed that this book and light mage are not actual books, only because I can't buy them and lend them out to others and re read. I love Tess and Vale's story and I wish I could get more of them. This book starts off in the midst of racial purging sparking a war that the series refers to very often and gives a reminder of what was going on in nazi Germany. It is very riveting and you cheer Tess on though it all. Being an outsider myself I related to her story very strongly. I highly recommend reading this book 1st then light mage before the black witch, only because you get the whole back history 1st and gives you hidden clues and heartache as you read the series.
I hope everyone who reads this series and comes away with compassion and an open mind about those we live with and what they go through on a daily basis. Too often we forget that stories and books are based on real life experiences and ideas.
ve been saying that within 2 years, Laurie Forest will be one of the biggest, most respected names in fantasy. Her new novella, Wandfasted, will go a long way toward making that reality.

It’s a longer novella, almost full novel length, which is good bang-for-your-buck in terms of entertainment/cost value. And actually, it’s almost two separate books in terms of what happens in the story. I’ll break it down as such

First 20% Fantasy action story

Last 80% Fantasy romance story

If you view it as that going in you’ll have the proper expectations for the book. And both components to this are masterfully done. That first 20% flew by so fast that I felt like I was in a whirlwind – just as the main character Tessla certainly is throughout these events. It’s so emotionally gripping and exciting throughout this portion that it really shows her breadth and depth as a writer, even if her bread and butter comes from the latter portion of the book. I love the way magic is used and how it’s dangerous for someone untrained who might burn themselves out, and actually the whole concept of Wandfasted. Really it brings me back to memories of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time with his Aes Sedai, and that is ALWAYS a welcome feeling.

What’s great about this first 20% though even more is what it does for The Black Witch. One of my issues with that book is we kept getting shown how bad the Gardnerians were acting to everyone else, and it almost seemed unjustified that they acted like that. I was hoping it wasn’t a direct allegory for LITERAL NAZI throughout that book, but at times it felt like it. Wandfasted fixes that issue I had with the book as it shows a tragic past of how they came to get so paranoid and angry. This backstory was a tremendous help to The Black Witch and I recommend reading Wandfasted first because of that.

Once we get past the initial war shock, the really emotional war elements where the character loses everything, Tessla is thrown into another whirlwind of sorts, this time a romantic storyline. I won’t press the details as the author has gone to great lengths to set up the beginning to leave you guessing who’s going to be her paramour, but suffice to say it’s satisfying.

Forest’s descriptions of the romance, the building tension, the frustration that the characters feel when they’re not able to fill it is extremely vivid. We learn a little more about their magic in the process. The pace does slow down quite a bit from the first 20% where Tessla was in the middle of a war and unsure of what’s going on, but it fits the story well. These characters become even more real and detailed as it goes on. There are some descriptions and points where it gets a little dirty for a PG-13 rating, so do keep that in mind while reading. That said, this quite possibly the most intense, best romance I’ve ever read. The way the situation happens, the awkwardness and anger that translates into intense love is extremely gratifying to read.

Also for my readers, I will note that there’s a lot of talk about rumored homosexuality between characters, and one certainly is, though that activity is not shown in the book. There is a message of society condemning this is bad, though it is focused toward a good message of “don’t ostracize people for being different than you” more than praising any certain behavior. Unlike The Black Witch, I don’t feel like the message interfered with the fiction at all or slowed the book down. I would say a couple points felt like the character thought a little too modern for her understanding of this low-tech world but I did not get thrown out of the story at all.

A lot toward the end of the book mirrors what happened with The Black Witch, which I believe was intentional. It’s a nice set up to the world in that regard and some good foreshadowing of the larger novel. I wanted to see Tessla’s progression as a mage a little bit more… but hopefully that just means we’ll get a sequel.

I was gripped from start to finish, and so far, this has my vote for best novella of 2017.
