Julia Defiant is the second book in the Witch’s child series.
It was one superb sequel!
It doesn’t happen often that the sequel to a book in a series/trilogy
is better than its first instalment. Yet, here we are… Julia Defiant made me
want to go back to my review for Julia Vanishes and lower the scoring I gave.
Not because Julia Vanishes wasn’t good, but because Julia Defiant was so much
better! I managed to finish this beauty in two sittings.
Are you a fan of YA fantasy? Read this series. The first
book is ok, the second is phenomenal! I can’t wait for the third book to come
out in 2018 (here is hoping it will be as great as the second book!!!!).
So… for the details J
Julia is an awesome main character. It is easy to relate to
her. Her emotions and actions feel real. In her shoes, my choices would not be
too different. She is smart, loyal, and brave. But she is also angry, afraid
and at times too quick to act.
She grew a lot throughout Julia Vanishes and she continues
to do so here. By the end of this book she is a much stronger and more
determined girl than she was in the beginning.
The Witch’s child is definitely a story about Julia, she
takes center stage the whole time. That is not to say the other characters are
not interesting though. We are introduced here to some pretty cool new ones and
there are a few surprises along the way regarding our already well known
characters. At no point however they became the main attraction or more
interesting than our protagonist. If you don’t like Julia, well… you won’t like
the books!
The plot was epic! So much from the first book was explained
and so much is yet to be explained on the next book. It is full of magic,
adventure, action, suspense… It will keep you on your toes! I loved the world
Catherine Egan created. It is easy to lose track, a LOT is happening, but it is
worth every second you spend reading it and making sense of it.
