Once in Witch World, Eleeri learns to use her skills and newly found magic to find love and a place of her own.
Rating: 5/5
In all honestly, I am partial to Andre Norton and her Witch World series. I might not be an impartial judge, but I loved the story and would recommend it to anyone. For lovers of Andre Norton's Witch World, this book is a must read! I'd always wanted the "evil" keplians to be a good as they were beautiful.
