"Heartless Hunter" by Kristen Ciccarelli is a romantic fantasy. It is the first book in the Crimson Moth duology. The book tells the story of a witch posing as a socialite and a hunter tasked with killing witches, and their love story.
The events of the book unfold in a country that has experienced a revolution and now lives under new laws. Previously, witches played an important role in the country's politics and life, but now the government has formed the Blood Guard, which killed the Witch Queens during the revolution and now hunts and exterminates witches. The people have established a brand new regime and a new country called The Republic of the Red Peace. Anything related to witches is now strictly prohibited. They even began to test and subjugate art, reworking famous operas in ways where witches are always persecuted. Propaganda became a powerful weapon in the fight against witches.
The main character, Rune, is a socialite, a powerful witch, and the avenger Crimson Moth, who tries to stop the bloody regime and save as many witches as she can. Witch Hunter Gideon is trying to figure out who this avenger is.
The language of the book is simple to understand, and the description of the atmosphere is beautiful and vivid. As a reader, you are immediately immersed in the atmosphere of this cruel world from the very first page.
However, it is worth noting that the book contains quite a lot of cliches at the beginning, and it can seem you can easily predict what will happen next, but then you are going to be surprised. Overall, the book is quite good, dynamic and consists unexpected twists. It is suitable for those who want to relax and at the same time immerse themselves in the atmosphere of witchcraft and witches.
I recommend "Heartless Hunter" to readers who enjoy themes of witches and witch hunters, elements of magic and mystery, and love stories that evolve from hate to love.6194
