I loved it!įair warning, the worldbuilding is dense, and Wells does not hold your hand. We meet his ragtag group of friends, add new found family, and go on a bloody and violent adventure. Then there's the revolution part which is told in a second timeline where we follow his life from inception in the human/mortal world to said revolution. I don't think that's too spoilery, but the story unspools in dual timelines so we first meet Kai in the present where has been betrayed and buried in a watery grave (water limits his powers) and must figure out who did this to him and why. He's a body-jumping, life sucking demon who joins a small band of unlikely rebels and helps lead a revolution against some genocidal bad dudes. Well, at least I love them, and I was totally enamored with the main character in this book, the titular Witch King, Kai. Martha Wells has a wonderful talent for creating loveable killers.
