About this ebook

The second thrilling book in Sally Green's Half Bad trilogy, the inspiration for the Netflix series The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself
 
"An enthralling fantasy in the Harry Potter tradition."—Time magazine on Half Bad
 
Kept in a cage for two years by the Council of Fairborn Witches, Nathan was trained to kill his father, the most violent and feared of the Blood Witches. Now Nathan has escaped, and he dreams of a quiet life of freedom with Annalise, the girl he loves—but Annalise is a prisoner, wasting away in a deathlike sleep. Nathan’s friend, Gabriel, is missing, likely dead, and although Nathan has found his unique magical Gift, he can’t control it. The Council's Hunters are on his trail, so he is always on the run. Nathan's only hope of survival is to join with new allies and old enemies in an alliance to bring down the Council, and they want Nathan's help: they, too, want Nathan to be a killer. Maybe that is the only way out. Maybe that is just who he is now…
 
Set in modern-day Europe, the second book in the Half Bad trilogy is more than a story about witches. It's a heart-poundingly visceral look at survival and exploitation, the nature of good and evil, and the risks we take for love.
 
Now streaming on Netflix as The Bastard Son & The Devil Himself.

I have to say I love Gabe.. refreshing to have a gay character...but his blind devotion is off-putting and rather insulting. Docked a star for that. Otherwise, it was good. (( Note: the amount of pages listed in the info is misleading, cut that in half for a good estimate. Finished the book in one day. This upset me greatly, but is not included in my rating. ))

The first book left me scrambling for a sequel, and I've gotta say, I was not disappointed. The character development in Half Wild is great, and I'm very happy that there are LGBT main characters in this book as well. It feels great to have representation, especially in a genre where there is so little. (This is the first good fantasy book I've read with non-straight characters that aren't minor background characters)
