Julia Unbound is the third novel in the A Witch’s Child series for middle and high school readers. It continues the story of Julia, a girl who lives in an alternate historical time where witches are real, but are not accepted in her country. As a result, her mother was drowned as a witch when Julia was young. She has always gotten by with her power to vanish in plain sight, though Julia found that there was more to that power than she realized. This power has caught the eye of the demi-god like creatures that want to take over the world, as well as Julia’s interference in their plots over the last two books. This time, Casimir has taken Julia’s brother to force her to help him. Egan delivers again with a stunning, fierce conclusion to her immersive and innovative trilogy. Libraries were fantasy novels are popular will want to stock all three.
