Witchmark
by C.L. Polk
Witchmark is a romp through a landscape that is at once familiar and at the same time strange. I loved the urban fantasy sensibility in a post WWI world (though this is not our world). I fell deeply in love with Miles and Tristan's relationship. The love scenes were expertly and sensuously drawn. I am writing this review a few weeks after I read the book and what remains with me most vividly is the romance between Miles and Tristan. Their love scenes were sweet and erotic.
The world she creates is intriguing and I'd like to see more of it in subsequent books. We are focused so tightly on the characters that we do not see much of the geopolitics of this world, though it is clear that they are critically important. It leaves a lot of room for future books to explore and I hope she will.
There is a hopeful vibe that builds through the book as the characters deal with the consequences of war and of the unfairness of life. It is as if emerging from a nightmare and blinking at the warm light filtering into the room.
This is a good book, a fast read, and definitely enjoyable. It drew me in and kept me there until I finished. Recommended.
