Rebel Witch review

5/5 stars Recommended if you like: fantasy, witchy reads, enemies to lovers, dual POV

Heartless Hunter review

Big thanks to Netgalley, the publisher, and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review!

This was one of my most anticipated sequels of 2025 and it did not disappoint! For those like me who were worried about where (and with whom) Rune ended Heartless Hunter with, have no fear: she is perfectly aware it's a problem and has no plans to really stick around. That was honestly my biggest issue with book 1, so I'm glad Ciccarelli had a solution for it.

Gideon and Rune are once more on opposite sides, but now they have the added complication of their feelings for each other. Falling for Rune made a fool of Gideon, even if he turned her in in the end, and falling for Gideon nearly got Rune killed and did get someone killed. The two are a big bundle of conflicting emotions in this one, though Rune seems more willing to let things slide than Gideon does (to be fair, Gideon also thinks Rune wants to be with Cressida). Only one of them knows the full story.

I liked that Ciccarelli started the book with Rune and Gideon about to meet again after weeks/months apart rather than starting it with them separated and part of the plot being them finding each other again. Enemies to lovers works best when they're in proximity, and in proximity they are. That's not to say they get along though. The 'enemies' are back in full force, with Gideon being particularly prickly and ready to double-cross Rune the second he gets the chance. Despite that, the two are still familiar enough with each other that they work quite well together and are mostly able to scheme a way out of trouble.

With the Blood Guard still in charge and Cressida gathering an army, politics naturally comes into the conversation. The Blood Guard is clearly bad, indiscriminately torturing and killing witches simply for being witches. On the other hand, Cressida presided over a reign of terror with her sisters, allowing and even participating in the torturing and killing of non-magical people. So...both sides are bad, but at this point there's no alternate solution. I was definitely interested in reading Rune and Gideon talk their perspectives out since they both make valid points but also don't see a non-extremist solution. Other people join in on this conversation as well and I liked seeing what other characters had to say about things. In the end, I think they come up with a good solution that works for everyone.

Rune is stuck between a rock and a hard place when the book opens. She greatly dislikes Cressida, but she can't go home and she still wants to see witches free. She does get out of the situation, but is in deep trouble with Cressida as a result of it, leaving her with two enemies at her back. Rune definitely goes on a personal journey in this book, trying to stay true to what she wants while also remaining free and dealing with the trauma that is Cressida Roseblood (and Alex's death). She has some low points, but her loyalty to the people she loves as well as to witches as a whole is able to bring her around.

Gideon is back to being fully against witches (although admittedly I don't know if that ever stopped). He's on thin ice with the Blood Guard, so he's determined to prove that Rune isn't a weakness where he's concerned. She is obviously, so Gideon has to juggle keeping her safe while also steering clear of the Blood Guard and trying to figure out where his loyalties lie and what he really believes. I have to say, Gideon really comes through in this one. He fought in the Revolution because it was the right thing to do and he continued to be in the Blood Guard because he thought it was right. This can very easily lead to a rigid character who sticks to his guns even when proven wrong, but Ciccarelli wrote Gideon to be moral, not necessarily loyal. As evidence mounts that neither side is entirely correct, Gideon is able to shift his perspective and comes to understand that there's good and bad on both sides. I really liked seeing this shift in him and seeing him put his brain power and experience behind a new solution that benefits everyone.

We meet some new characters as well as some old ones. Harrow is back and we get to learn a little more about her background. I enjoyed her character and do wish we got to know her a little better since she's still pretty closed off. Laila is also back and I liked seeing her camaraderie with Gideon. She definitely doesn't understand his actions always, but she's loyal to him and trusts that he at least somewhat knows what he's doing. Seraphine is back as well and we get to learn more about the older witch as well as her relationship with Rune's grandmother. Seraphine definitely has some surprises up her sleeve and she proves to be a good ally.

Bart and Antonio are two new characters. Rune and Bart used to run in the same circles before things blew up in Heartless Hunter, and it seems Rune wasn't the only one keeping secrets. Bart ends up being much more serious and down-to-earth than Rune thought, his socialite persona just as fake as Rune's was. Antonio is Bart's lover as well as an ex-acolyte for the Cult of the Ancients. He's not a witch, but is just as much at risk as Rune is if anyone finds out. I really liked the dynamic between the four of them and wish we got more page time to see a deeper friendship develop (maybe a novella?).

Overall I greatly enjoyed this book and think it's the perfect sequel to Heartless Hunter. I wish it were longer, but that's only because I want to stay in this world for a longer period of time.

An Introduction

Hi, I go by either Snap or Newt. I've had a Tumblr blog before, but this time I want to create one solely focused on writing, whether that be relating to writing or just writing in general. I have a bunch of main wips as of this time (not counting my short stories or the occasional oneshots/flash fiction pieces I do that I call fanfiction but I don't think can really be counted as such).

wips with titles

Lost Paradise. Set in Italy, possibly in the 1800s, and is dark fantasy with religious themes. So far, I have the rough draft done but just keep on procrastinating with the editing. tag is: lost paradise.

Seven Nights in Roseblood Hall. Short vampire-centric story about a murder mystery that I started writing for Halloween this year but haven't completed yet. I have written about four chapters of the first draft. tag is: seven nights at roseblood hall.

The Secret Sun. Possibly a stand alone story, possibly a short story in a sequence of four stories. I haven't decided yet. I know the Secret Sun is a historical story set in a fantasy (or alternate world) with time travel as the main theme. tag is: secret sun.

Cecilia and the Ghosts is a short story (hopefully) that is about a girl that can see/hear ghosts, and is told from the point of view of her friend Alexander, who is a star that is sometimes also a human. tag is: cecilia and the ghosts.

wips without titles (yet)

a sci-fi apocalyptic story that doesn't have a set plot yet but that has so far been exclusively created from listening to too many Imagine Dragons songs. tag: imagine dragons story/id story.

a fanfic story with a lot of semi-ocs that is centered around the cast from the HoneyWorks mvs ai no scenario, light proof theory, cherry blossoms dance at dawn, and pride revolution. tag: reincarnation story.

Some of my other, older stories and wip projects I may post about from time to time. Zehm is a fantasy universe that I've created, somewhat outside of story writing, and I use zehm tag for it. There are a lot of characters and worldbuilding/lore I have for Zehm, but I'm always down to talk about it. Thinking up more and more stuff for it is always an enjoyment of mine.

I primarily enjoy writing fantasy (urban fantasy is my jam :) and mythical/fairy tale like stuff, but I also have a weakness for historical novels if they have a magic aspect. I do enjoy a writing challenge, though - and I hope that making this blog will help me with that.

I also really enjoy reading, so I'm always down for book or fic recs.
