I was hesitant about The Black Bird Oracle at first—it actually took me two tries to get into it. The first time around, it was definitely a case of “right book, wrong time.” But once I settled in, I was hooked. 

 

One of the highlights for me was meeting the Proctor side of Diana’s family. Their introduction added a new layer to Diana’s history, though I still don’t entirely understand why she was kept away from them. That said, the book seems to suggest that everything unfolded as it was meant to. 

 

Diana gaining even more power was unexpected—she was already one of the most formidable witches, but now? I’m curious to see how that develops, especially with Rebecca set to surpass even her mother. The implications for the future of the series are intriguing. 

 

Overall, it was wonderful to return to this world, and I’m looking forward to what comes next.
