Rendition During Books Witch (Doppelganger #2)
When a witch is born, a doppelganger is created. For the witch to master her powers, the twin must be killed. Until now...Created by the merging of witch and doppelganger, Mirei is a unique being. Her extraordinary magic makes her the most poweful witch alive—and a notorious social outcast. While Satomi, the leader of the witches’ ruling Primes, hails Mirei as a miracle, rival Primes proclaim that Mirei is an evil abomination... and that those who champion her must be destroyed.
Now the different witch factions engage in a bloody war with magic, treachery, and murder. But both sides may be fighting for nothing. For the power that the rebel Primes fear, the magic that Mirei alone possesses, is killing her.

I just couldn't get into it. And I couldn't finish it. Maybe it was the screaming baby behind me on the plane or maybe it was all the meaningless characters and convoluted plot. I dont know. Ill keep it and try again later. Much later.Its been several years since I read the first in this series but I remember liking it quite a bit and Im glad that I finally got around to reading this novel. I love this world of Witches and Hunters. The religion created for these books, and especially how Witches receive their power, is brilliant. I wish there were more books in this series, especially now that the entire system of the Witches has been overturned and a rebellion quelled.
Marie Brennan takes us on another whirlwind adventure in Witch, book two in the Doppelganger series. Returning to Starfall, seat of power for the witch community, we find Mirei up to her ears in internal turmoil. Having rejoined with the other part of her soul, Mirei's very existence is seen as a threat to all magic, an insult to the goddess herself, and it's not long before a rebel group breaks away, promising the deal with the doppelganger threat once and for all. Fearing for the safety of the
This is the sequel to Brennan's Doppelganger, and it does a fantastic job of expanding the world and the characters within it. This chapter of the overall story deals with the very fundamentals of magic, politics within the witches' kingdom as well as other realms in their world, and mirroring the main character's own internal struggle, conflict and cooperation between the witches and the Hunters, highly trained mercenaries.I don't want to say much about the plot of the book, because it would
Years ago, I read the book Doppleganger, by Marie Brennan. It was an entertaining story, well written, and very engaging. I was pleased when I was recently at my local used book store and came across this book, a sequel to the one that I had enjoyed so thoroughly.Needless to say, I was not disappointed. The book was, again, very well written, fluid in the pacing of the plot, with just the right mix of action, drama, and backstory. Could this book have been developed into a broader and deeper
I've been waiting for this one ever since I read Brennan's first book, Doppelganger, and it was worth the wait. Sequels aren't easy to write, but Brennan did a wonderful job. Everything in Warrior & Witch flows out of the events of Doppelganger. The main character, Mirei, has overturned centuries of tradition and religious belief, discovered a new kind of magic, and begun a revolution in how witches and doppelgangers are raised. Unfortunately, not everyone is happy about these changes.
I didn't finish. I read this series a while ago and again, can't get through the second book. LOVED the first, but the second shouldn't exist. There's no need for it. The writing and story line is obviously forced. I will definitely recommend the first book, but stay away from the second.
