Spells for the Dead by Faith Hunter
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Oh, so good! I read Circle of the Moon right after finishing Final Heir, then realized that Spells for the Dead was out, too. So lots of Faith Hunter, all in a row, and I loved it all. I was mourning the end of the Jane Yellowrock series, and I really thought I preferred it over the Soulwood series.
Then I got immersed in Nell’s world for a couple of books. As much as I love Jane, I find Nell more relatable for some reason. I enjoy getting to see more of Rick, Occam, Firewind, and the others, too.
Circle of the Moon gives us more of Rick’s past, as it endangers him and all who care about him in the present. Spells for the Dead takes us along as Nell learns more about her own abilities and discovers a new type of practitioner.
I do wonder about how the Nell and Jane timelines fit together. I wish there were a chart or something we could refer to somewhere.
