Story
After the turbulent and heart breaking events of Lilly and Gabriel's almost wedding, nothing will ever be the same. The world has been thrown into violent chaos. Hunters have declared all out war on those with magic in their blood and everyone has been caught in the crossfire. But Hunters, it would seem, are far from the world's biggest threat. A dark evil has been unleashed. One driven by wrath and an insatiable hunger for vengeance. And the fate of the world and all those in it rest in a single pair of hands.

TL;DR at the end
If you like Anne Rice's "The Mayfair Witches", you're going to love The Last Witch by M.J. Lawrie! Thrilling, suspenseful, heartbreaking and tragic, victories and losses, love, rage and peace- this series will have your emotions walking the plank, only to land in a well hidden lifeboat, waiting to take you to safety… until the twist and it's back on the plank again and twisted through it all is MAGIC! Part love story, part family drama with the broken becoming heroes, then becoming villains, then broken again and heroes once more, only to… well, I don't want to give anything away so I'll just say this- I used my Audible credit to get the first book, then bought more credits and burned through two more in less than a week because I couldn't stop listening! I try to give completely honest reviews and point out anything I didn't like (since very few books are entirely perfect). The one thing that kept thumping my brain in a distracting way was constantly referring to the ground outside as "the floor", but that may just be one of my personal peculiarities. It certainly didn't stop me from becoming utterly intoxicated with the story. This was my introduction to M.J. Lawrie and it made me an instant, enthusiastic fan! I must say, I am in genuine despair that volume 3.5 isn't available on Audible! Life currently makes it nearly impossible for me to read a physical book, so all of my "reading" is actually listening and I can't find an audiobook of the last installment in this series ANYWHERE, which is terribly disappointing because I'm desperate to hear every bit of this story there is to know!
Apologies, dear reader, for writing my own novel for a review.

Story
The chains around my wrists are gone. The doors once locking me in, unbolted. But I'm as far from free as could be. My magic has been stolen, and my power and freedom are held ransom by my ruthless coven leader. Grayson's obsession with furthering the Arcane bloodline, and his unrelenting desire to complete a dangerous spell, returning magic to the world, has consumed him. He is ready to destroy anyone who gets in his way. His brother, his coven, even me. No one is safe.

Story
My whole life, I have been a prisoner. Starved. Beaten. Hated. But most of all, I am feared. I am feared because I am the most powerful woman in the world. Most want me dead. Some want to control my magic for their own dark desires. To others, I am salvation. A key to winning a war that has raged for 500 years between those who can use magic, and hunters, who dedicate their entire existence to killing anyone with magic in their blood. I am released from my chains and thrown into a world I am supposed to save. A world that has made me suffer beyond words. Magic must return. But should it?

Reviewed: 05-01-23
Despite being a voracious reader/listener of practically all book genres, I'd be hard-pressed to name one I've read in years that had me so enthralled. Perhaps it's the draconian measures so called "democracies" put in place in the wake of Covid-19, the trampling of rights, silencing of dissent and the carefully orchestrated lies by those in power that are just now starting to be made public, or the terrifying images of women and girls who are being slaughtered in broad daylight for having the audacity to show their hair and demand an education as the world watches on... in horror, but ultimate cowardice and possibly even indifference- refusing to give more than a passing condemnation to the murderous dictatorships inflicting such atrocities on their citizens... or maybe it's simply being a women and having a history of subjugation encoded in my DNA, whatever the reason- it was shockingly easy to identify with the plight of the characters in this story and the dystopian world they were fighting against. Well done to the author. I'll certainly be recommending this to others.

I don't know if the 5 star reviews were purchased or if they're simply written by lovely people who are exceptionally easy to please. I, unfortunately, am not one of those people... not when it comes to books anyway. This story, in my most humble of opinions, is so melodramatic and so overdone, it comes across as just... cheesy... and the ending leaves a *lot* to be desired.
In all honesty, I'd skip this one.

It was one of the most searing images of the twentieth century: two young boys, two princes, walking behind their mother’s coffin as the world watched in sorrow—and horror. As Princess Diana was laid to rest, billions wondered what Prince William and Prince Harry must be thinking and feeling—and how their lives would play out from that point on.

I wanted them to be wrong...
Reviewed: 02-04-23
I wanted all the critics who blasted Prince Harry's memoir as a "woe is me pity party whine-fest" to be wrong. Figuring most were royalists who saw the book as a betrayal of the BRF, no matter the content (and as an American who possesses no loyalty to such institutions), I ignored their condemnation and ordered "Spare"... alas, it really *is* a woe is me pity party and what do you call telling deeply personal stories of family members (that have nothing to do with you), but absolute betrayal? Harry claims he "has enough for a second book" when this one was cover-to-cover whining about girlfriends not loving him enough to endure the paparazzi, him getting smaller rooms/portions than William bEcAuSe hE's ThE sPaRe (not because he's the youngest, which is the reason for similar "injustices" in ordinary families) and seeing everything from lions in Africa to a broken Christmas ornament as "a sign" from his mother. Spare is simultaneously over AND underdone, boring and unnecessarily (clearly fictitiously at times) dramatic, so I suppose that is some sort of accomplishment. The fact that he needed assistance to write this mess is baffling.
I hope he and his wife have found a place where they feel safe and happy and are resolved to go about their lives without mentioning the BRF every five minutes... before they're written off by everyone as the disgustingly privileged narcissists who could not be less self aware, that they seem hellbent on presenting themselves as.
I'll be returning the book as it wasn't even almost worth the credit.

There were no “unexpected revelations” in my opinion. The story developed as I anticipated it would. Perhaps this was a poor choice on Audible for me, because I never stopped waiting to find out why every character in this book spoke in one accent, while the protagonist spoke in another. Since no reason (or even acknowledgment) for this odd accent dynamic was ever given, I’m left confused and unsatisfied… as though it could’ve been more, but for this… oversight? I’m not mad, I’m just disappointed.

If you liked the other books in the Pillars of the Earth saga, you’ll enjoy this one too. Follett’s ability to make you feel like you’re part of each scene, without getting bogged down in tedious, unnecessary details, is unmatched. If hope he writes another book for this series- it’s so good I don’t want it to end!
