Matt K reviewed Witch King by Martha Wells (The Rising World, #1)
Fantastic Voyage
5 stars
Witch King flips back and forth between two times. One is a mystery - who trapped us? What intrigue is afoot and how can we foil it. The other is a rising challenge, a hopeless rebellion against an overwhelming authority.
Both are told with strength and warmth- our protagonist is frankly a bit of a shit in the beginning, but we learn why and see where they are coming from and where they are supported more than they see.
It ends with the perfect ending for a mystery and the aftermath of a rebellion. The story is done.
I’d absolutely enjoy another book in this world but this stands well all by itself.
