From screenwriter Irena Brignull, the stunning sequel to her critically acclaimed YA debut, The Hawkweed Prophecy ("Full of romance, heart and suspense...completely absorb[ing]." -Madeleine Roux) about a young witch forced to choose between love and magic.Poppy is discovering a purpose for her powers in Africa, but she is haunted by a vision of her own death. Taken in by a boy and his great-grandmother, a healer, they vow to keep her safe-even if that ultimately means holding her captive. But Poppy never stops longing for Leo and, when she feels his magic begin to spark, she will do anything to be reunited with him. Desperate to regain Poppy's trust and bring her home, Charlock embarks on a plan to reunite Leo with his mother. What Charlock doesn't foresee are the string of consequences that she sets into motion that leave Ember all alone and prey to manipulation, the clan open to attack from other witches, Sorrel vulnerable to Raven's ghost, Betony determined to protect her son from his father's fate, and which leave both Leo and Poppy in terrible danger.

The Hawkweed Legacy was an adequate sequel. I did, however, struggle with the alternating point of view and past/present transitions. I enjoy the writing style, characters and world building even if the story can be slow moving at times.

Poppy and Ember couldn't lead more different lives. One is a troubled teenager, the other a really bad witch. They both feel out of place, and for a very good reason: they were switched at birth.
I liked the writing and the idea, and I want to read the rest of the story. But I would have liked the author to develop her story and her characters more.

Wow. This book was our magic, both in its writing and story.

“Poppy Hooper doesn‘t want to be the queen of the witches. But some problems can‘t be left behind. Some love stories can‘t be forgotten. Some friendships won‘t be broken. And some enemies won‘t stay dead...the battle for the throne isn‘t over yet.”

Feeling a bit witchy tonight 👻✨📚🍂🕸

Starting the wildly delightful sequel to The Hawkweed Prophecy. While Hocus Pocus plays in the background.
