Book 3 of 4: Amendyr

See all formats and editions

Ailynn Gothel has always been the perfect daughter. Thanks to her mother's teachings, she knows how to heal the sick, conjure the elements, and take care of Raisa, her closest and dearest friend. But when Ailynn's feelings for Raisa grow deeper, her simple life falls apart. Her mother hides Raisa deep in a cave to shield her from the world, and Ailynn must leave home in search of a spell to free her. While the kingdom beyond the forest is full of dangers, Ailynn’s greatest fear is that Raisa will no longer want her when she returns. She is a witch’s daughter, after all—and witches never get their happily ever after.

This one's 'Rapunzel' and the third book in the Amendyr series

Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 2019

Verified Purchase

The books in this series just get better and better, and I thoroughly enjoyed this one!

The witch in this case, has a daughter, Ailynn, who, like many children of narcissistic parents, is seen as an extension of her, and is expected to do as she is told. Ailynn is intelligent and curious, but knows no differently, and initially does not see her mother's descent into madness. Even when her mother acquires a friend for her through devious means. This friend, Raisa, later becomes Ailynn's love interest. All too late, Ailynn realizes the extent of her mother's involvement in dark magic and then must see to figure out how to stop her to save herself, her love, and the kingdom.

This book further ties in characters from the last two, and each story expands the world more. Rae does a very good job with the characters in this one, especially writing the "evil witch" with depth and backstory. This one is the most solid entry in the series so far!

Another great story in the Amendyr universe. The relationship between Ailynn and Raisa is very sweet and tender, and Magdon does a good job of showing just how it changed over time. The inclusion of some of the elements of the original fairy-tale surprised me, as most re-tellings chose to ignore that Rapunzel becomes pregnant during her imprisonment. I anxiously await the next book in the series.

Very well done! The story continues to build on the first two books, as we are introduced to two new main characters and a robust supporting cast. The world building continues to be great, as we learn more about Amendyr and the rebellion against the queen. I thought it was especially interesting getting to know a little bit more about the villain of the story, with insight into what caused their spiral into darkness. There's actually some interesting philosophical questions posed regarding family and what our obligation to support them is, when their behavior is morally reprehensible. Overall, this is an original and very entertaining story. I highly recommend it.

I really love a retold fairy tale. Each book in this series has been a wonderful original take on classics I love. The intertwining of all three books to tell the overall larger story has been handled expertly. It would be easy for the author to lose the plot. I can't wait to see where the larger story heads while we get introduced to more lady loving heroines. Great job to the author! I adore this world you have created.
I'm anxiously awaiting the next installment.

I didn't fall in love with the main character's love story toward the end ...

Reviewed in the United States on June 13, 2015

This book started off well with a bit of a steady pace in the writing to move the story along, but lacked in many ways. The book started off grabbing my attention and it had a lot of promise. As I continued to read I saw a few errors, which weren't excessive but enough to be noticeable.

The final moments when the story finally converges and gets into the main plot, the story falls short and is completely rushed. I'm not sure why more attention to detail wasn't added.

It pains me to say that Raisa's character came with a lot of baggage and it wasn't properly dealt with from an angst, realistic, human standpoint. Without giving any spoilers away, there were moments in the that were not thought through in my opinion. The angst and potential of any given moment were over shadowed by a random a sex scene or a declaration of something unrealistic in order to move the story along. I didn't fall in love with the main character's love story toward the end like it had built up in the beginning.

Overall, out of the Amendyr books, the first was by far the writers best. These past two additions were rushed and lacked emotion that were supposed to give depth and meaning to these human connections in the story.

There was so much potential for these stories to be amazing but unfortunately, moments that should have been lengthened and explained were rushed and brushed aside for a plot that wasn't as moving as what should have taken place between the characters and these 3D moments that fell flat.

I hope the writer continues to write of course! But needs to understand how drawn out drama and angst add life to a story. It's not supposed to be rushed and pushed aside. The journey has always been what's important not the end result.

I found this story really incredible because not only did we get to read the romance between the women but we also got to understand more about Mogra.

This book was magnificantly written! I am so glad that I bought all 4 books at once because when I was finished with this, I couldn't catch my breath til I turned the first page of "The Mirror's Gaze"!

Another book in the Amendyr series this book does a good job of developing more of the World that these books are set in. At the same time, it does feel a little transition-y. I expect the next book will answer questions that weren't answered here but a good read nonetheless!

Another classic from Rae

Reviewed in Australia on April 29, 2015

Verified Purchase

Despite this being the 3rd book in her series, Rae continues to turn old tales on their heads. Despite being based on Rapunzel, this story begins much earlier with Ailyn Gothel, the titular Witch's Daughter.

Like the others in the series, the characters are the heart and before long, it plays out not like the classic tale.

Bring on the next, Rae.
