A Nameless Witch by A. Lee Martinez
4.0
Mini-Review:
I've read a few books by A. Lee Martinez and these are the things I've come to expect:
- An unusual character.
- A different take on a well known tale/topic/etc.
- Humor (The kind that makes me grin.)
- Not the happy ending you thought would happen.
With this book, I found myself touched by the whimsical flair of love and the different ways that passion could be expressed. I kept hoping that the Witch would be something more than what was told but that didn't really happen. She did end up being very amusing with her bent towards 'being witchly' in her manners. I loved that she was a beautiful monster. How she thought she was hideous for most of her young adult life until she became an apprentice witch. The last part felt a bit rushed in comparison to the pacing for the first half of the book. Yet, it was still satisfying. A lot of the details littered in the story were put into a final place and tied together by the end.
I cheated on the audiospeed but that made it more fun for me. =D
