The earth did not give way.

It shattered.

Not from force—

(which, for the record, is usually what one hopes for in a good, honest shattering)

but from something it could no longer contain.

I was, at this point, attempting to not panic.

This was unsuccessful.

He did not understand it.

Which, frankly, made two of us.

He ran.

The ground disagreed with this decision. Loudly.

And when the sky tore open—

(yes, tore, I checked twice, it was extremely rude of it)

he did the only thing he could.

He flew.

I, meanwhile, made a note to never stand there again.

Or anywhere, really.

I am considering sitting down indefinitely.

Following the style of Apparently, Sir Cameron Needs to Die I've decided to share some passages of my work-in-progress fantasy novel about a shoddy wizard who accidentally manages to bring back two zombies from the dead in a feat of apparently "true" revival, souls and everything. Since he doesn't know how he did this, he can't answer any of the other necromancer's questions, which is the typically the point at which they pull out the scalpels and go find out for themselves.

We need to put together one of those big rec posts that’s specifically focused on comedic fantasy so that folks who constantly misidentify all comedic fantasy tropes as Terry Pratchett references because they’ve never read any comedic fantasy that isn’t Terry Pratchett can read comedic fantasy that isn’t Terry Pratchett.

Nix Reviews: A Nameless Witch

Summary: A tale of vengeance, true love, and cannibalism by A. Lee Martinez. In which a witch and her demonic duck familiar try to discover who killed her teacher and ends up on a quest alongside a troll, a sentient broom, and a beautiful Black, White Knight.

Score: 8/10

Sexual Assult Drinking Game: N/A?

(+)  I do enjoy some nice non-horrific cannibalism

-cranky demonic bloodthirsty duck

-fun ‘talking’ animals

-sentient inanimate objects that don’t talk are my absolute favorite characters

-love interest is a Black man described by the mc as the most beautiful man she’d ever met. Also, he doesn’t die

-the mc’s best human friend is a sex worker, there is no drama about her job, her work is a normal part of the village that helps it function

-50% of being a witch is just being as cool and mysterious as possible

-magic is fun and weird

-probably not ace but gives off massive aspec vibes

-good monster design

(-) Sex happens. Not graphic at all, I’m just not a fan of sex

-Part of what makes the witch irresistibly beautiful is that she’s very pale and I don’t vibe with that

Overall: It's pretty darn good, better than I remembered actually. You could put it down for a while but also pick it back up just as easily. A very good example of romance I say as an ace (also aro).

So You Want to Read Comedic Fantasy: Here's Where to Start - Unbound Worlds

While we love our multi-volume doorstoppers and grimdark epics as much as the next reader, sometimes it’s fun to let loose and look for a laugh.

Loved William Goldman’s “The Princess Bride” and highly recommend anything by Kevin Hearne.
