The Witch Hunter
by Virginia Boecker
Despite the not-at-all-accurate comparisons to GoT and Graceling, I had low expectations going in and nothing in the book raised them, so I was never disappointed...yay?
This is very similar to a bad pnr I just read, Demonica, but with witches. And less sex. An annoying puffed-up hunter of the supernatural is taken ahold of by who should be ha enemy, and the people she works for turn out to be even shadier than she thought. She falls in love with a boring would-be enemy and they have a dumb romance. And a predictable identity twist occurs.
I do sorta like the book’s Johanna Mason who totally hates the protagonist and would personally be fine with her death. But alas like Johanna Fifer learns to tolerate the protagonist.
Also, why do so many authors insist on writing in the present tense? Most of you do it for no discernible reason. Just saying.
