I read this last summer. The world is colorful and captivating. Fantasy worlds are often a stable ideal, where nothing has changed for thousands of years. Not in the Witch King! Perhaps a hundred years ago a bunch of evil wizards violently conquered the world and wiped out whole peoples.

The characters are fantastically overpowered and full of cool abilities. The plot is an intricate thriller. All this serves as a meditation on Trust. Who do we trust? How do you gain and lose trust?

Everything I remember about the book is cool. But I remember I did not enjoy it at all. I did not care what happens to anyone. My mind was absolutely not in it. Perhaps I just didn't read it at the right time.
