One Has to Die

One Has to Die is the third book in the Branches of Past and Future Magic series by MN Bennet. 

In this book, we are following Dorian after the end of the events last year. Considering the title and warning, I was on edge at the start of the book, but the build-up is spot on, and I cannot fault it. I have loved returning to this series and following the cast of colourful characters. The character's death had me in a chokehold, and I cried. Having had a significant impact on all the others even if some hide it, and I have also enjoyed seeing how other characters have reacted to this. Additionally, I love the banter Dorian has with his students and Milo. The end of this book has a sort of twist, and not all as it seems. I cannot wait to dive into the next part of this series.
