The final installment of the “Dragons in a Bag” series features all the best that Zetta Elliott has to offer – action, character depth, mystery, and a whole lot of love. The novel spreads the narrative between the action happening in Palmara and what is occurring in Brooklyn and Chicago, creating a back and forth between the characters in each location. This split narrative is brought together in the end in a seamless fashion with an exciting climax.
One of the highlights of The War of the Witches is Kavi’s adventure with Mo and the dragons. Elliott dedicates her character work to Kavi in this book, displaying her attempts to show maturity, growth, and patience in the face of terrible circumstances. Kavi and Mo’s adventure is not only an exciting plot point but also a point of insight and growth for Kavi’s character.
Highly Recommended. Canadian Review of Materials
