How does witch and wizard end




















She flies backwards, electrocuted by the fence and confused that Byron is holding the fence and feels nothing. It is a special fence that will only harm Magicians. Wisty realizes that she needs her brother to help fight this new threat and save half of the city. Heath says that her brother isn't needed, that he is there for her, but she insists.

Finally, Heath admits that her brother is most-likely already dead. He is from the mountain and knows that the Mountain King wants to kill both of them. Wisty is furious that he didn't tell her this when Whit was leaving and finds that she can no longer trust him. She vows that she will go up the mountain and save Whit, with or without his help. He surrenders and states that the fastest way up the mountain would be for them to use their magic.

They combine powers and after a try or two are able to transport themselves up the mountain to Whit, finding him surrounded by trackers and about to die. Wisty calls to Whit, and this distraction could cost him is life.

A snow leopard pounces down from an overhead rock, but Janine pushes Whit out of the way and is attacked instead. She is tossed around in the leopards mouth like a rag doll, and it seems unlikely that she will survive. But the snow leopards are still there, surrounding Whit and Janine.

Whit knows that he has to remove the threat of the leopards before he can heal Janine, but time is precious. He fights off the leopards with his bare hands, going crazy at the thought of losing Janine. Wisty sprints towards her brother as he tries to heal Janine, but Heath stops her.

He tells her that she needs him to help, and together they basically burn down the forest and cause the trackers to run away. Surrounded by flames and smoke, Whit pushes himself and manages to heal Janine. The Mountain Witch arrives on the scene and knowledge is dropped on Wisty.

Heath is apparently the grandson of the Mountain King. Wisty feels betrayed and can't believe what she is hearing. She pulls further from Heath, no longer even being able to stand his touch. The Mountain Witch takes Heath and they disappear back up the mountain. Whit and Wisty carry Janine back down the mountain. Upon reaching the bottom, Byron meets them and tells them that all of the Magicians, their parents included, have been rounded up and transported to the camp.

Whit and Wisty are wanted once again. Byron takes Janine to safety and the siblings head to the camp. They make it to the camp with no issues and see their parents. All in the camp are packed in like sardines, roasting in the hot desert sun.

The buildings were never finished and have no roofs, so there is no escape from the heat. Whit and Wisty decide they need to head to the counsel and set everything right. Upon arriving, they find that they have been removed from the counsel. The counsel is now only made up of adults. Bloom uses surveillance to show that Whit, Wisty, and Heath are all traitors. They are arrested, and Pearce enters the room.

Shocked Whit and Wisty are taken to a dungeon to wait for war to start. Whit is brought to the front lines and chained to other Magicians waiting to die. Wisty is caged and immobilized. She is carried to the middle of the battlefield, a present for the Mountain King offered by Bloom. The Wizard King uses his powers and takes control of the field.

Everyone suddenly wants to be cleansed, surrendering with no fight. The cage and bars fall away from Wisty and she makes a stand. Heath appears and helps Wisty to regain control of the crowd.

They work towards removing the Mountain King's mental hold on everyone. Together they are strong enough to override the Mountain King. But Heath wants to take it further, using the people and controlling them into trying to kill the Mountain King. Wisty fights against Heath, eventually being able to pull away and remove her power from the equation. But the Mountain King is already on the ground. Heath walks up and kills the Mountain King Wisty knows of only one person who has this power.

In front of her eyes Heath melts into Pearce. Wisty is disgusted, but Pearce is convinced that she will be able to love him anyway.

He is consumed by their power. Whit joins Wisty and together they attack Pearce. They are on the verge of killing him, but the Mountain Witch intervenes. She begs for her son's life, stating that the treaty will be reinstated now that the Mountain King is dead and they will never have a problem with them again. Unable to deny her request, they allow her to take Pearce and leave.

Afterwards, Whit and Wisty work towards once again restoring the city. A new counsel if formed, made entirely of children all under Each month new representatives will be elected. Adults can give input, but can't actually vote. Bloom is exiled to the desert, now the commander of a troop of monkeys.

Janine is the currently elected leader of the Council. Every citizen has a copy of the Book of Truths. All seems like it is right with the world. Will the next book just be dedicated to them actually succeeding in restoring the City for once, or is there a new dictator waiting to destroy all hope again.

Feb 05, Ashley Mustard rated it it was amazing Shelves: darkladyash. I felt bad for Wisty in the end. The Kiss, Book Number 4 excellent Jan 12, ally rated it it was amazing Shelves: dystopian. Personally, this book is my favorite so far in this series.

It was juicy, interesting, it kept me thinking, and there were some new characters. This book was filled with different emotions, at points it was sad, at points it was funny. The connection between Wisty and Heath, a new character, is cool and unique. Overall, this book was ecstatically amazing! Oct 12, Gdalton72 rated it it was amazing.

There's a lot of twists and turns and you visit many different places throughout the story, such as the mountains and the streets, the back roads, and even a frozen lake. It has a great way of getting you into the book with all the action and drama that happens, for instance the scene where their on the football field and for the first time in forever Whit got tackled and Whisty fell in love with the demon known as Heath.

This book is very easy to get attached to with all the lovable characters. It has a great way of continuing where the last one left off, Starting you off right in the middle of a political event. Overall the book is an amazing book and I would highly recommend this book and the series to anyone that likes action suspense, suspense and drama books.

May 24, Jamie rated it it was ok. I read and enjoyed the first three books in the Witch and Wizard series, but this seemed a desperate grasp at keeping the series going. I thought it was a trilogy until this book was released. My first impression came from the cover. I hate the cover.

It's all about Wisty, when Whit is supposed to be an equal character. At least that's how the series started. Well, maybe it started more with Whit, but I digress. Following suit, "The Kiss" should have a K, but instead it has the face of a sexified girl with hair that doesn't match the image of the character she's supposed to portray.

That brings me to the time frame. I was under the impression that maybe a year has past since the first book started, but that would put Wisty at 15 and view spoiler [living in her own apartment with her parents' blessing. And there's a point where she talks about "years under the New Order's rule.

I may not remember how I thought when I was 14 or 17, but Whit and Wisty come across as sometimes. And the whole M thing is a bit annoying, too. Every time they talk about their magic they say something like, "I reach for my M. Too lazy to type it out? I just don't think that kids that age would come up with a nickname that lame, if they used a nickname at all.

But perhaps the most annoying part of this particular book in the series is just how far it strays from the original picture that this reader got from the first three books.

Inconsistencies bug the hell out of me, and this was overflowing with them. Let's talk about view spoiler [ foolball. In the first book, on the very fist page, football is football. Whit is a star player all through high school.

However, in "The Kiss" it is suddenly foolball like that's all it ever was. No mention of the south. No City citizen has ever set foot view spoiler [ in the desert, even though I'm pretty sure Whit and Wisty ended up there in the first book.

Incredibly annoying. They should have left it alone as a trilogy. There may have been a couple loose ends, but they did not need tidying. And this was not the way tidy them even if they did. The same ones, in fact. I guess that means another book is on the way. Apr 20, Aaron rated it liked it.

James Patterson generally should have stayed away from the idea of writing for teens. At first glance, he would seem like the perfect author for them because his adult books are full of action and written at a very approachable reading level.

With that said, he can't seem to write a teen novel without dumbing it down and telling a story that speaks to the stereotypes of teens. For example, all of his teen novels are populated with adults who are all evil. This is actually one of the strongest of James Patterson generally should have stayed away from the idea of writing for teens. This is actually one of the strongest of his teen novels.

This is the fourth book in a series that involves a pair of twins with magical powers. Wisteria, or Wisty, is able to control and produce fire, and her brother Whitman, or White, can morph himself and others into animals and can heal people. In the previous three books, they used those powers in a dystopian future to overthrow The One, an evil man who has taken over their city.

Now, one would think things might get better, but the democratically elected Council made up of an equal number of teens and adults has taken a turn for the worse when one of the adults, who seems just as power hungry as The One, convinces everyone to turn magicians into scapegoats for all the evils of the city and that the neighboring Mountain Kingdom is ready to attack.

This latter point becomes even more dangerous as children around the city start disappearing. Only war with the Mountain Kingdom can keep everyone safe. For the first time Whit and Wisty find themselves disagreeing about what to do as Wisty falls for the mysterious Heath, another teen with magical abilities and ties back to the institutions under The One.

They will have to get it together if they are going to be able to save everyone from falling back into despair and slavery. This series has always seemed to have been made up of books that really cover all the plot in like 5 scenes and fills the rest of the pages of character thoughts that really don't lead to much development or really anything going on.

The addition of romance doesn't necessarily help, but the story seemed to be a bit more interesting. Maybe it is because it only took one book to tell it rather than three, which is how the previous plot told the tale. A part of me believes these books were written only because of the appeal of all the teen dystopian novels that have been coming out.

Oh, well. May 20, Naomi rated it it was amazing. Whit and Wisty are now members of the council, and they are trying to fix their city that was once taken over by The One.

Whit and Wisty are now running the city because kids are now in charge, but they are faced with a problem. There is a new threat to the city and his name is the Wizard King. The Wizard King cut off the water supply for the city, now Whit and Wisty have to find a way to negotiate with The Wizard King but he does not like to negotiate. One thing that James Patterson is very good at in this book is mixing romance with action.

Wisty meets a guy named Heath, and she happens to fall head over heels for him. While Whit goes to the mountain to confront the Wizard King Wisty and Heath have a lot of romantic moment. Another thing that James Patterson does in this book is humor. I recommend this book to anyone who loves romance, mystery, and action. This book shows that there can be romance in any situation, and anyone can have romance. This book does not have a lot of mystery in it but James Patterson keeps you guessing what will happen next.

There is a lot of action in this book because Whit and Wisty use their powers in all sorts of ways to protect the people, and each other. I think that Patterson really focused on the family theme for this book. This book shows Wisty choosing to stay home with Heath while Whit goes up the mountain. While they were still on the mountain Wisty find out a huge secret that Heath kept from her, and she is heart broken by that secret.

This book definitely deserves five stars because I never wanted to put the book down. Every page was intense and surprise kept flying out. Heath keeps secrets from Wisty which brings even more suspense to the story. James Patterson really surprised me with this book there was not a moment that I was bored.

James Patterson is a great author and this book proves it. It wrapped up things nicely. But, of course things can't stay happy or there wouldn't be a story. Eventually the siblings agree, but only because a rebel tells them that their own parents are imprisoned at the facility. The rebels invade the prison and overcome the New Order with the help of Wisty, who sets herself on fire for a very long time. It's really cool. Number one, he says, this was totally his plan all along.

Sounds fishy. Number two, there's another prophecy—a longer one, in six parts. It predicts all sorts of strange and seemingly contradictory events, including visits to the five levels of reality, the execution of the Allgood family, and some sort of power merge between Whit, Wisty, and an unknown third party. With those cryptic comments, The One leaves. Whit and Wisty go back to child rebel HQ and regroup.

Eventually they go out into the world to see what has become of their home. It's not there it was demolished by the N. They're super proud… but not very forthcoming with information. The Fire. The Kiss. The Lost. A world where everything has changed. There are no books, no movies, no music, no free speech. Everyone under eighteen is distrusted. You and your family could be taken away and imprisoned at any time. Your very being is expendable, even unwanted.

One of the first things that bothered me right of the bat were the chapter lengths. As in, each chapter is only 2 - 4 pages long and there are chapters in this book, excluding the prologue and epilogue.

This really got me because these "chapters" don't really feel like chapters. They feel like very short scenes and make the book hard to follow because the narrators are constantly switching off more on that later. Patterson and Charbonnet could've easily put together many of these chapters together and had twenty or twenty-five chapters with some actual substance in them instead of over one hundred chapters.

Now, if I had to sum up this story in one or two words, I would choose "wasted potential". Because this plot really had the potential to be something good. This book takes place sometime in the future, in an America that's been taken over by a government called the "New Order". According to one of the two main characters both of whom I've grown to dislike very much , mention at the beginning of the book that the American government was overthrown.

There were "elections, the new government, the ravings of my parents about the trouble the country was in, the special broadcasts on TV, the political petitions my classmates were circulating online, the heated debates between the teachers at school".

Later, we find that the New Order had been around for years and took careful steps to take over the U. When their plan was finally in motion, they managed to overthrow the whole government in a matter of months. Sounds at least a bit interesting, right? Well, I ended up being very disappointed. None of those things were ever expanded on in this book. We never find out how the "New Order" managed to take over, we are just told that they're already in power and that's it.

We never see any of the drama behind the United States of America's takeover by the leader of the New Order, "The One Who is the One" which has to be the stupidest "intimidating" name for a dictator that I've ever seen. We never see any other countries react to the takeover. We never see any of the citizens reactions to the takeover. Surely there would've been one big protest or two before everyone is brainwashed into loving the New Order?

That was where this book really could've shone and it really saddened me that none of my many questions were answered. Instead, we're given these two kids who've suddenly been kidnapped, hauled off to prison, and sentenced to death.

All of the details of the New Order's rise to power are just mentioned in passing with no detail. And speaking of "detail", that's where Witch and Wizard really falls short. Nothing about this book has any depth whatsoever. They narrate the whole book, each of them having their own chapters to themselves.

This would've been fine and good as I've seen this done before, but these two have to be the most obnoxious little snots I've ever had the displeasure of reading about.

Okay, there's nothing wrong with being good looking, but Charbonett and Patterson apparently felt the need to remind us of how handsome Whit is every few chapters read: every few pages.
