Get overwhelmed when you have to figure out everything on your own.Must have well-drawn characters that you can emotionally connect to.Books that jump back and forth between timelines.Challenging books that drop you in the middle of the story with little handholding.* Disclaimer: I received a free copy of this book from the publisher in exchange for a fair and honest review. I would not recommend this to anyone looking for complex characters or character growth or who don’t enjoy books about politics.Nathan‘s Review of Witch King by Martha Wells I would recommend this book to those who are looking for a slower paced fantasy read with a mystery element. I did think this book had a slightly better ending than The Red Scholar’s Wake but not by much. However, this book did not have a romance element nor the interesting magical imagery. I felt like this book reminded me of The Red Scholar’s Wake because it had the same slow pacing and emphasis on the politics of a unique fantasy world. The book has a lot of cantrip and intention style magic that wasn’t that interesting to read about for me. It didn’t make me feel anything towards the characters and I felt like the descriptions of the magic were a little lacking and flat to me. I personally had a hard time getting into the book and just felt like the writing style didn’t speak to me. I felt that this was more cozy than epic because the story moved at a very slow pace and focused a lot on the politics of the characters rather than the plot. This book had an interesting premise of whodunit mystery with a demon that felt had the vibes of a more cozy fantasy than apic fantasy.
