Book description
Okay, so I just finished The Warlock by Deborah J. Lightfoot, and wow-where do I even start? If you're into fantasy that pulls you in and doesn't let go, this one's for you. The audiobook version really brings the world of Waterspell to life, and I found myself just sitting in my car longer than needed just to keep listening.
The story follows Carin, a teenage girl who gets dragged into this wild magical mess by an angry wizard (because obviously). She's trying to figure out where she belongs, which hits different when you're also trying to survive dragons, magic poems, and a seriously complicated relationship with a sorcerer who can't decide if he wants to hug her or hex her. Like, pick a lane, dude.
What I loved most was how immersive everything felt. Lightfoot's background in storytelling really shows-every scene feels thought out, layered, and rich with detail. You don't just hear the story; you kind of live in it. The narrator does an amazing job bringing the characters to life, especially the emotional beats between Carin and the warlock. It's intense, a little twisted, but in the best way.
This is the first book in a series, and honestly, I'm already itching to dive into the next one. It sets up this huge, magical world with just enough mystery to keep you hooked but not confused. Plus, there's a bit of romance, a lot of danger, and some seriously cool magic systems that feel fresh and not overly done.
If you like fantasy with strong characters, emotional depth, and that classic "what even is my life" teenage energy, give The Warlock a shot. You won't regret it.
