Witch (Doppelganger Book 2) Kindle Edition

Revolution has come to Starfall.

To some, Mirei is a savior. Born from the union of opposing forces, her existence offers a way to heal the division between warrior and witch, and brings powerful new magic into the world.

To others, Mirei is an abomination. She overturns the ancient traditions of the witches, threatening their stability and corrupting their magic with an influence that should be destroyed.

But even Mirei's power is not enough to prevent a civil war. And while she struggles to reconcile Starfall's opposing factions, a more insidious threat is building within her -- because her newfound magic does not come without a price.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Marie Brennan is a former anthropologist and folklorist who shamelessly pillages her academic fields for inspiration. She has recently misapplied her professors' hard work to the short novel DRIFTWOOD and TURNING DARKNESS INTO LIGHT, a sequel to the Hugo Award-nominated Victorian adventure series The Memoirs of Lady Trent. The first book of that series, A NATURAL HISTORY OF DRAGONS, was a finalist for the World Fantasy Award. Her other works include the Doppelganger duology, the urban fantasy Wilders series, the Onyx Court historical fantasies, the Varekai novellas, and nearly sixty short stories, as well as the New Worlds series of worldbuilding guides. Together with Alyc Helms as M.A. Carrick, she is the author of the upcoming Rook and Rose epic fantasy trilogy, beginning with THE MASK OF MIRRORS in January 2021.

5.0 out of 5 stars You know what.... I liked this book.
Reviewed in the United States on December 5, 2010

I gave Warrior a 5 star rating, I give Witch a 5 star rating too. My comments on Witch are much the same as I gave for Warrior. I liked the story line. I can not and will not complain about the story line - I thought it was wonderful, I rally enjoyed the book whether totally original or not it was a good read and one I enjoyed.
While the honorific titles were confusing and one must often wonder if the reader is pronouncing the names correctly - it is often such as thus with fantasy type stories. YOU just have to get through it and enjoy the story and not let that become a detractor. Now, maintain that correct grammar doesn't always make for the most readable story. My example again is the use of "former and latter" and the use of "foci" instead of the less correct but more readable "focuses." True, grammatically correct, but to me as a reader they break up the smooth flow of the story. From a personal standpoint I have always found the use of "former and latter" and also "foci" irksome to hear and to read. Nevertheless I got through the story and at the end I can honestly say that it was a good story and I recommend it to anyone who likes fantasy stories. Good job, Ms. Brennan. I look forward to reading MIDNIGHT NEVER COME.

When a witch is known to the world, the person is sort spilt into two persons sort of , one with powers and another one doppelganger, a double with no powers. But for same reason the double must be distory, killed by the other half. The reason is never clear it's been done for so long it's more a ritual, than anything else.

5.0 out of 5 stars A great sequel!
Reviewed in the United States on June 30, 2015

This is a great sequel to Warrior. I didn't initially think that Warrior needed any more, but this sequel does a great job continuing the story without making it seem forced or redundant. It's a really fun read that had me turning pages! I wish there were a third! If you liked Warrior, you'll love Witch!

3.0 out of 5 stars I chose to read this because I really enjoy Brennan's Lady Trent books
Reviewed in the United States on March 1, 2017

I chose to read this because I really enjoy Brennan's Lady Trent books. The pacing in both Witch and Warrior was slow in the beginning, and then "resolved" everything toward the end. So while not unenjoyable, With and Warrior likely reflect the work of a developing author, whose writing definitely improves with later books.

The text was predictable, especially given the foreshadowing in Warrior, the book to which "Witch" is a sequel. Nevertheless, it was a good escape from the minutiae of life. Gratitude to the author!

The characters deal with both supernatural and average human problems, and deal with them in their own way. I really enjoyed the novel.

a pleasant surprise. It didn’t go ugly, and it didn’t go sappy romantic. It was just a good read. I didn’t expect to be blown away given the book was so cheap, but i was very pleasantly surprised and got far more than i expected from these two books. I hope she writes more stories.

5.0 out of 5 stars A feast of unintended consequences in this nicely twisty fantasy adventure
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on May 23, 2020
Verified Purchase
I am a real fan of a premise that throws up unintended consequences. Given the first book finished in quite an unexpected place, I didn’t leave it too long before diving into this one – and once more Brennan quickly threw in a couple of curved balls I didn’t see coming. I love it when that happens… Interestingly, Mirei, who was the focus of the first book is slightly pushed to one side as the consequences of what happened to her ripples through the layers of the magical community and the group of assassins, both of whom have been directly affected. As you can imagine, when a number of powerful people within both these groups become a tad fed up, the consequences are dire.

Due to the fast paced, twisting nature of the plot and the fact that I am allergic to spoilers, I can’t really comment in any detail about the events that unfold. However, Brennan manages to provide a solid, believable world without resorting to pages of description, which is important in such a tightly constructed, pacey read. Desperate to find out what would happen next, I burned through this one, staying up far later than I should to discover what happens next. While her Memoirs of Lady Trent series is very well known, this duology is far less so – and it deserves to be far more widely read. Highly recommended for fans of Marie Brennan and page-turning fantasy adventures with twisty plots.
