Fae fantasy is a trend for quite some time now, but it’s mostly written in a very white, cishet setting.
The witch king takes all the tropes, the fantasy settings and the beautiful, royal fae that we already love and just adds a rebellious young trans main character.
Wyatt is a loveable, relatable and cute main character. His past is written with trauma and that also reflects in his actions. When his fiancé forces him back to his birth world Asalin, we expect a cliché fated mates, enemies to lovers storyline. But the relationship between those two and their individual personalities are just so well written.
The side characters are also very well written and diversity is well incorporated into the story.
I’m excited to start the second book soon!

I've been meaning to read this book since it's release and I'm so glad I finally did! We get found family, being true to yourself, romance, soulmates, and so much more. I'm looking forward to reading book two and for them both to be available in paperback so I can buy and annotate my own copies 🥰

There were also quite a few mentions about pregnancy, specifically unwanted and/or forced, which wasn’t marked in the content warnings here on StoryGraph.

I LOVED the premise, the sheer adventure in this story, and being guided by a protagonist with such a fun sense of humor.
My favorite character is Briar, bi and ace best friend to Wyatt.
