The Witch King by H.E. Edgmon
4.0
I forgot to update when I finished this!
So the gist of this story is that witches are the offspring of the fae, so they can do a different sort of magic from their families. This creates an interested dynamic because the fae don't believe witches to be their equals (even though many of them are related). Its very much a social commentary.
I really enjoyed this book. There was a wide swatch of queer characters and identities, which is a nice change of pace from a lot of other stories where there's one background character.
Admittedly Wyatt was not my favorite character, but I think it's normal to dislike a main character when it's written from their perspective, because you know all of their thoughts and plans and faults. I'm sure it would have been the same way if it had been written from Amir or Briar's POV. Also, I really liked Briar as a character, I just struggled with how she always felt like she was conveniently inserted into various situations. It makes more sense at the end, its just a little clunky.
