The Witch Collector: Witch Walker, Book One (The Witch Walker)

THE #BOOKTOK SENSATION FOR FANS OF SARAH J. MAAS
Every harvest moon, the Witch Collector rides into our valley and leads one of us to the home of the immortal Frost King, to remain forever.
Today is that day--Collecting Day.
But he will not come for me. I, Raina Bloodgood, have lived in this village for twenty-four years, and for all that time he has passed me by.
His mistake.
Raina Bloodgood has one desire: kill the Frost King and the Witch Collector who stole her sister. On Collecting Day, she means to exact murderous revenge, but a more sinister threat sets fire to her world. Rising from the ashes is the Collector, Alexus Thibault, the man she vowed to slay and the only person who can help save her sister.
Thrust into an age-old story of ice, fire, and ancient gods, Raina must abandon vengeance and aid the Witch Collector or let their empire--and her sister--fall into enemy hands. But the lines between good and evil blur, and Raina has more to lose than she imagined. What is she to do when the Witch Collector is no longer the villain who stole her sister, but the hero who's stealing her heart?
The Witch Collector is book one in a thrilling romantic fantasy series, perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas, Naomi Novik, and Jennifer L. Armentrout.

Sometimes when a book series is really trying to build a new world the author will add in so much information that I get too distracted and lose interest. This book could have been split up and I would have enjoyed it more. I know if I read this book a few more times I will fall in love. I will finish this series because by part 4 of this book I finally was able to get invested into the characters. I do love that the main character uses Sign Language and has everyone learning it.
I'm definitely looking forward to continuing the series, but I didn't feel like there was much to the story in this book. It's hard to say without reading the rest of the books, but I think a bunch of this could have been cut and the romance and the plot would have been fine.
I also am always disappointed with instant love stories. It just never feels earned. And it's hard to be as invested when you don't really see why they love each other

Decent book, interesting world building- though at times insufficient. Idk if I’ll read the next one but I enjoyed this one.
“A beautifully feminine-dominant story set in a world of masculine warriors. Poetic, lyrical, and deeply empowering, The Witch Collector shows how, when a true feminine warrior rises, even masculine rivals will unite to bring her down. But Raina’s strength, resilience, and magic make this story unforgettable.”
Meh. Nothing special.
