I didn't like the ending.
Despite all of what the Prophet has done to her and her family, Immauelle chooses to spare. Like huh? This man literally took advantage of her best friend and got her pregnant which indirectly led to her death. Did I mention he also killed her parents? This man does not deserve mercy. But I'm pretty sure if they killed him off, there wouldn't be much room for a second book.
At first, I felt bad for the witches, but I realized they're no better than the people of Bethel. They turned on Immauelle the second after she didn't comply with them.
Even killed her grandfather.
 They took advantage of Miriam, Immauelle's mother, when she was at her lowest and manipulated her.

Overall, I liked this book but I don't think it needs a second book.
