The Witch King by H.E. Edgmon

5.0

The Witch King is a delightful new adventure into a fae world that seems both familiar and different than one's we have seen before. This fae world is an awesome blend of the old and the new, including fighting with swords and spells through text. The main character Wyatt goes on a journey that many of the queer readers will feel mirrors their own. Wyatt discovers who they are really are while navigating a place that doesn't believe he has a right to exist. As the reader explores the power dynamic between Fae and Witches, Wyatt has to discover what he really wants from this world and what he is willing to sacrifice to achieve it. The prose is wonderfully precise and each description feels like a photograph. This is also a journey through Wyatt processing their own trauma as they go back to a world that gave them so many scars. This is perfect for the reader who hasn't been able to see themselves in fantasy literature before and wants to explore what that world would look like.

I got this arc through Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
