A review by chelseacounsell
Witch King by Martha Wells

5.0

Martha Wells proves once again that she deserves to be my favorite author. The world building of Witch King is sumptuous and delightful in its ferocity. Its exploration of conquest and imperialism and the people who fight back is really… powerful. I feel emotions. I really liked Kai and Ziti and even Bacharta. The descriptions were greatly vivid, and the magic felt very intuitive, but I did lose some details along the way in terms of what happened in the sixty years between the present and “the past”. I wish there would be a sequel that went into some of that.
