Historia4 out of 5 stars 343
After being murdered, his consciousness dormant and unaware of the passing of time while confined in an elaborate water trap, Kai 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.

Enjoyed the story and narration

Counterpoints to the negative reviews: This narrator reads at a more normal speaking pace, rather than the slower reading pace of some narrators. The narrator is clearly understandable, expressive, and keeps an even pace throughout. Due to brain issues I have to listen to most audiobooks at 1.2x speed to comprehend them, but this book was already at the perfect speed for me.
For those complaining this is not like The Murderbot Diaries, Witch King is in the fantasy genre, is novel length, and is written in third-person POV, so it's going to be different. If you like Martha Wells's other fantasy books, you'll probably like this one too. The worldbuilding is fascinating, and once you understand the Past chapters are flashback interludes, it's not too difficult to follow. I usually struggle to keep track of characters in an audiobook, but I was able to keep them mostly straight except for Bashasa and Bashat, though I figured it out eventually. (I think Bashat may be Bashasa's descendent?) The narrator uses different voices for the characters, which helped a lot with keeping them straight. The characters are three-dimensional and likeable, and I only wish there was a sequel so I could spend more time with them! All in all, Witch King is a creative story that kept me intrigued, gradually revealing Kai's earlier past while he's on a quest to solve the mysteries of the recent past and the present.
