A Nameless Witch by A. Lee Martinez

3.0

A nameless witch, a demon duck, a troll and a White Knight on a quest for either revenge or a horrible death. It took me a while to warm up to this book and it's characters, it was a very slow build, which seems different from most of his other books which are usually much more humorous and fast paced but in the end I appreciated the slower pace, the slower build to the end of the story. I never really ended up feeling very connected to the characters or to the story, they felt to unreal, almost stereotypical in a way, which fits a fairytale I believe. One thing I did love was the system of magic in this world, it had rules but not very strict ones unlike many magic systems in fantasy worlds, it felt more fluid and natural. A part of nature which seemed to be a major theme of the book.

Not one of my favorites of his books but well worth the read.
