"Wells is working at the height of her powers here, and it's relaxing to be carried along for a ride in the company of such a phenomenal storyteller." --The New York Times
"A wonderfully original world, sympathetic characters and a solid quest make Witch King the satisfying fantasy you yearn for when named swords and cursed rings begin to grow stale." --The Wall Street Journal
"A wildly original and complex fantasy exploring how revolutions are won through trust, and destroyed through selfishness. Wells excels at brooding, powerful inhuman protagonists who just need a little kindness to be their badass best." --N. K. Jemisin
"...The kind of novel you want to sink into, with a narrative style that hooks you in and makes it impossible to put down." --Alex Brown for NPR
"Unlike anything I've ever read. A layered and complex novel that delivers on the promise of epic fantasy." --Zoraida Crdova
