About book 3 X Wicca Deel 5: Afrekening / Lotsbestemming / Nachtkind (2008)
I loved this series when I first got into it. I loved Morgan- her struggles were engaging, her joy in her newfound powers and in the study of the Craft was relatable, and I really cared about what happened to her and her circle.Now, in volume 5, I couldn't care less.I think my biggest problem with this series has been that Morgan is just too powerful. It's like reading about Jesus Christ Superwitch. And, despite how incredibly powerful she is, she never loses. She went from being an engaging character to being a Mary Sue, and it turned me off. I also have issues with the way the magic is portrayed, but that's a different story (seriously though, a family matriarch and powerful priestess can't identify telekinesis? Really?).The final book, Night's Child, should have been my favorite-- Hunter has consistently been my favorite character, even after I fell out of love with Morgan. I should have been incredibly engaged in the search for him, and worried about the consequences and stakes. Instead, I was bored; I knew that Morgan would get him back, and I knew she would save the day. There was no tension for me at all, because these sorts of grand gestures and enormous acts of magic have become routine in these books.Basically, I read this last volume to finish out the series, but I really wish I hadn't bothered. And I hate that I feel that way, because this series could have been so much better if the ideas and concepts had just been more fully developed. If Cate Tiernan had really, deeply delved into the ethics of magic, if there had actually been stakes and losses, and if she had stopped focusing on Morgan the Christ and gotten back to how beautiful the magic was, I would have been a lot happier. Just because it's a YA novel doesn't mean you have to dumb it down for your audience. Good series. The last book was a bit weird because it jumped so far into the future, but all in all it was good. While the author did a great job of giving closure with Morgan and her group of people, I wish there had been more closure for Alisa and the ones she encountered. It kind of felt like there should have been more happening with her, whether in a spin off or at least to finish up some of the unfinished business.
