Witch King by Martha Wells

This is the first time I can actually say that I need to read the physical book after listening to the audiobook. The book is so dense and it cycled back and forth from the past to the present. With the present only being a few days span. I need to take notes to figure out exactly what is going on and you absolutely need to remember the names in the beginning because there’s so many important characters and the narrator doesn’t change his voice to reflect them (I do love this narrator though and have listened to a few of his narrated books).
The story itself is great and the magic system and demon system is really fascinating. There are almost too many characters and with going back and forth from the past and the present I would forget where I was in the story timeline. But it was a good story overall. I just need to go back and read a physical copy to fully understand the extent of what is going on.
If you like a complex magic system and a really funny and unique set of characters (the dry humor in this was absolutely my favorite part) then you’ll love this. It’s worth me doing a re-read to better understand it because I’m pretty confident there will be another book.
