United States, 1 October 2006

When a witch is born, a doppelganger is created. For the witch to master her powers, the twin must be killed. Or so it was believed for centuries . . . Once Mirei discovered that merging with a doppelganger gave a witch more power than killing them, the witches at Starfall have been in an uproar (Doppelganger; 4/06). Her heresy goes against centuries of teaching--and the accepted practice of murdering their doubles.On a quest to collect the surviving doppelgangers, Mirei is unsurprised to discover that there are still witches at Starfall who side against her and her unorthodox ways. But worse, her fellow hunter and closest friend, Eclipse, has been captured by these same witches--and has no choice but to swear a blood oath to kill Mirei. If he fails his blood oath, he will die. With the witches divided, and Starfall itself in the middle of a civil war, Mirei will have to choose between saving her friend and figuring out a way to unite Starfall before it's too late.

When a witch is born, a doppelganger is also created, and according to witch lore the doppelganger must be killed so that the witch can claim her full power. Enter Mirei, a unique being created by the merging of witch and doppelganger. She is the now the most powerful witch alive, and an outcast from witch societyA miracle to a few, an abomination to many, Mirei is the cause of a vicious civil war full of magic, treachery, and murder, but both sides may be fighting for nothing. You see, the power that the rebel Primes fear, the magic that Mirei alone possesses, is killing her. This book has a great premise, and the style is good, but while I found ‘Warrior and Witch’ an interesting read, for me it just didn’t have magic. Then again, magic is different things to different people!
