Witchmark by C.L. Polk
3.0
M/m fantasy novel featuring a secret witch and a fae. More story-driven than character-driven, but it builds to a really cinematic and emotional climax! I had a lot of trouble getting into this because the most interesting relationship for me was the complicated sibling relationship, which, because the novel started when they’re already estranged, felt very incomplete.
The plot was okay, with a little bit of magical murder mystery, genre-typical commentary about class inequality (witches vs Secondaries, whose sole differences are socio-economic class), and what I think of as FMA-esque revelations. It starts out pretty slow and then it goes way too fast haha (I ended up staying up to finish this, lol).
