Found it! I don't remember anything from the first two books I read aged ago tho so 😔
And those moments are: I wish, wish, wish I had never agreed to change the order of the series and move Bloodwitch to #3, while Iseult’s book after. The ripple effects of this decision (which was handed to me as a directive on high due to a sales situation) continued to haunt me into Witchlight. For one, I didn’t plan the series reveals that way! And I had already written and published Truthwitch when this news came to me, so I couldn’t go back and undo all my foreshadowing… For two, because of these locked-in story elements, Aeduan’s personal reveals and arcs had to be completely re-reckoned. They just weren’t meant to happen before Iseult’s…so now I had to almost split his story…while also splitting hers… It was a mess. I wish I had pushed harder on making Witchshadow two books. In actuality, this would not have been an issue in the first place if I’d had my original series arrangement (Truthwitch, Windwitch, Threadwitch, Bloodwitch). But because of the switched arrangement, I had to add plot to keep things moving. Which meant by the time we got to Iseult’s book, she had…well, too much to deal with. The story had ballooned thanks to, again, ripple effects. I won’t rehash why making this one book was so tough…but I really wish I’d pushed harder on this. (Read the link above if you want more insights.) I also wish I had not written Sightwitch as such an integral part of the main series—or that I had made clear to my publisher that Sightwitch was book 3 and not just a separate prequel. The marketing around that book really hurt its performance out of the gate, and it never did sell to the UK—a fact UK readers bemoan to me constantly. Because I couldn’t assume readers had read Sightwitch, I had to sneak lots of reveals and information into the other characters’ stories. Reveals that I didn’t actually want my characters to know yet, but that I needed readers to be aware of… I’m looking at you, Aeduan’s mom.

A digital illustration of a red-haired woman in a green dress kneeling next to a white-haired man hunched over himself as she drives a sword into his back. There are flames on the edge of her dress and in the foreground, while the man's hand is lightly over a dagger. In the background, backlighting the scene, are large stained glass windows. A digital illustration rendered in colored pencil textures of a woman in an ornate red dress running up a stairwell, away from a horned, clawed shadow approaching from a side hallway. The scene is flooded in red lighting, with ornate gothic wallpaper, paintings, sconces, and wainscotting in the background.

lmfao why does youtube need like 400% bleed on the header. you're telling me some devices are going to see only a tiny rectangle in the middle and some are going to see this whole thing???
A rectangular image showing slanted parallelograms of different intricate illustrations in a colored pencil texture assembled like a header. The illustrations are ordered in vaguely rainbow order, but there are three rows slightly offset.

Partial lines and sketch for two fairies (human women with wings) lounging seductively in a forest area. A sketch and color blocked illustration of a woman faced away from us painting a sunset using trees dipped in pinks and oranges. Her hair melts into a river.
