Witch King by Martha Wells

3.0

Interesting book with a unique world, but I do not recommend the audiobook. The narrator is great, but this book is dense and audio does not work well for it, unlike Wells' Murderbot books.

Not quite a 5, but I don't want to use partial stars. A lot of world building and character development happens here. 

It does have somewhat of a cliffhanger ending though, so be ready to jump into the next book!

Informative and interesting. Not only does this book help describe some of the wide spectrum of ace experiences, it ties it back to the experiences of allosexuals as well.

More interesting deep dive into Blizzard. Sad to see how far it's fallen since selling to Activision, but not surprising.

I'm going to stick to even numbers for my ratings rather than bumping to any partial stars.

This book is good, but looking back on it there are a lot of pages that could have been edited out and the book would not suffer from it. 

This book is longer than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy and has not even half as much adventure. There is absolutely more character growth, but it could still have done just as much with fewer pages.
