Kai’s having a long day in Martha Wells’ WITCH KING….
I really enjoyed the journey of getting to understand the world that Kai inhabits when he has a human body and also the Underneath, where he is from. Things kick off with the main, and titular, character who is not, by the way either a king or a witch discovering he, and a good friend, have been done very, very wrong by someone.
What makes the Crayola Wonder Magic Light truly unique is its ability to change colors with a simple touch of the wand. As children draw, they can choose from a variety of colors, including red, blue, green, and yellow. The LED lights then illuminate the drawing in the selected color, creating a visually stunning and magical experience.
REVIEW: Witch King (x 2) by Martha Wells
“I didn’t know you were a… demon.”
“You idiot. I’m the demon.”
Kai’s having a long day in Martha Wells’ WITCH KING….
After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai-Enna wakes to find a lesser mage attempting to harness Kai’s magic to his own advantage. That was never going to go well.
But why was Kai imprisoned in the first place? What has changed in the world since his assassination? And why does the Rising World Coalition appear to be growing in influence?
Kai will need to pull his allies close and draw on all his pain magic if he is to answer even the least of these questions.
He’s not going to like the answers.
Well, I think a lot of people are going to jump on this book after having arrived at Martha Wells’s writing through Murderbot. I have tried one or two of Wells’s fantasy books and should have remembered why I never got far in them. A good friend of mine adores Martha Wells and has been reading her fantasy books for decades. She doesn’t, however, like the Murderbot series as much. I wonder if Wells is someone who, for most people, you either like one type of her books or the other. SciFi or fantasy but not both.
Readers are dropped into the action with no information beyond the info-dump of dramatis personae before chapter one begins. Should readers have to constantly flip back to this list in order to try and remember who the heck these (many, many) people are? My answer is a resounding ‘no.’ But the first chapter is action packed and I hoped that this would finally be the Wells fantasy that worked for me.
Things kick off with the main, and titular, character (who is not, by the way either a king or a witch) discovering he, and a good friend, have been done very, very wrong by someone. But who? They don’t know and that (I think) is the driver for the plot. Who betrayed him? To find out, we’re going to be taken on a long and circuitous journey.
This book is packed with world building and yet I still often found myself completely baffled as to what was going on, who was who, and why did I need to be told in such detail what the characters were wearing. The littlest details of the settings were described but often I wondered, why do I need to know this? What difference to the plot does it make? I want to feel something for the characters and thus be invested in why it matters to discover who did them wrong. But I found that I just didn’t care. The action switches back and forth between past events and the present which served to yank me out of any reading rhythm I had built up. And since we know the outcome of the major event of the past, that negates any suspense about it in the current day sections.
So many characters read as flat to me. They mostly had long, elaborate “fantasy” names and titles and relationships and were listed as being from yet another kingdom or city-state as if this is supposed to mean something to me. Who are these people and why should I care about them?? Oh, that’s right. I don’t know who they are and I’m not being made to care. If this was the second, or even the third, book in a series, I would expect all this detail and all these characters and would, I hope, give a flip about them but that’s not the case. Yes, I suppose I could go back to the listing of characters but they all blurred into a mass without much to distinguish them. Too many times I huffed in annoyance about being told what this one or that one was wearing or what they just changed into (seriously, there is a lot of this). Actions are painstakingly told in the minutest detail but all I could mentally do was scream “Cast the spell and get on with it!”
I was about a third of the way through and it was making my head hurt. After reading for an hour or so, I would have to take a break. There is a difference between complicated and confusing and I realized I was slogging along and getting less and less interested. This book is just so bloated with description and characters that I felt as if I was frantically doggie-paddling just to keep my head above water. This is not why I read books. For many readers I can see this being their catnip but for me it was just wasn’t doing it. DNF

Reviews for "Uncover the Secrets of Crayola Wonder Magic Light"
1. Andrew - 2/5 stars - I was really disappointed with the Crayola Wonder Magic Light. It claims to provide a magical light effect, but it was underwhelming at best. The light was dim and didn't really add any excitement to the coloring experience. Additionally, the markers didn't show up very well on the special paper provided. Overall, I feel like I wasted my money on this product.
2. Sarah - 1/5 stars - I cannot express how disappointed I am with the Crayola Wonder Magic Light. The concept sounded great, but in reality, it fell flat. The light was barely noticeable and added zero magic to the coloring process. Moreover, the markers provided were far from vibrant and didn't deliver the promised "wonder" effect. Save your money and opt for a regular coloring set instead.
3. James - 2/5 stars - The Crayola Wonder Magic Light failed to live up to my expectations. The light feature didn't really contribute anything special to the coloring experience. It was more of a gimmicky addition rather than a functional tool. Additionally, the markers didn't glide smoothly on the paper and seemed to dry out quickly. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking for a truly magical coloring experience.
4. Emily - 1/5 stars - I was extremely disappointed with the Crayola Wonder Magic Light set. The light effect was barely noticeable and added no value to the coloring process. The markers were also disappointing as they didn't show up well on the special paper and lacked vibrancy. It was a total waste of money and I regret purchasing this product. I would not recommend it to anyone.
