WITCH WATCH PDF, EPUB, EBOOK

The Witch Watch is a comedic romp through a Victorian England where magic exists and the dead can be raised as zombie-like abominations. That's what happened to Gilbert. Except that it was all a mistake; it was supposed to be a powerful wizard, Lord Mordaunt, who got raised. Now Gilbert has to contend with Lord Mordaunt's cult-like followers, the zealously anti-magic church—and, of course, the "Witch Watch", the royal ministry tasked with investigating and defending against malicious magic. But Gilbert is not an evil abomination, he's just a guy trying to do right by the world. When he learns that the "vigor" a sort of life force or essence that revived him came from the Princess Sophie, he is determined to get it back to her. Along the way we get to know Simon, the young sorcerer who raised Gilbert, who is both more and less than he seems. And Alice, daughter of the Witch Watch's founder, who is herself a magic user and has a very clinical approach to magic. As Gilbert regains his memories they were lost due to his time as a corpse we are treated to flashbacks to the time before his death, and slowly discover how it was that he was reanimated in place of Lord Mordaunt. There's nary a dull moment in the book, as Gilbert's adventures take him across England and beyond. The alternate history with its unique magic system and the organizations that surround them are carefully drawn. Clearly they were deeply thought out, but by and large the explanations are interesting and used to drive the story forward. And for all the high drama, the book is at its heart a comedy. Reading the banter between the characters is a pleasure whether they're debating how to escape their latest predicament or ruminating on what to have for breakfast. Still, the book falls short for me in a few ways. I couldn't help but raise an eyebrow at how ready Gilbert is to give up his un life for a princess he's never met. At best it was a missed opportunity for more character depth, and at worst it chips away at the reader's belief in the character. And there were other ways the characters lacked complexity. For instance, without spoiling too much, view spoiler [once the characters sort themselves into good guys and bad guys things become very black and white. The heroes might argue about how to do accomplish something, but their goals are very much in a line. Again, if Gilbert had a bit more sense of self preservation I think there would have been an additional thread of tension that would have made all the heroes feel a bit more real. In other words, I'm glad I read it. That's more than I can say about plenty of traditionally published books. If you're inclined toward light historical fantasy, I think you'd like it too. Oct 14, Emma Goldman rated it really liked it. An interesting twist on necromancy, alternating between the revenant's present and his past history. The ending was rather unexpected, in that convention was defied in the matter of life and death, whilst being upheld so far as evil being defeated and the status quo maintained. I rather enjoyed this variation on a theme. Apr 18, Kathryn rated it liked it Recommends it for: Fans of steampunk-y low fantasy. Shelves: reads , fantasy , historical-fiction , on-my-nook , victorian-england. Shamus Young is one of my favorite bloggers and a terrifically talented writer, so I was very excited for his Victorian magical steampunk-ish novel, The Witch Watch. Alas, I was disappointed. After some thought, I realized why. A lot. If your character asseverates something, expect your reader to lose immersion. The second major weakness of the book is language. Contrast Patricia C. And that was a shame, because The Witch Watch is an original story with engaging characters. I liked all three of the protagonists, and secondary characters like the patron of the Witch Watch added a lot of flavor to the story. The villains, both minor and major, were also inspired; I really enjoyed cheering for their downfall. The story leaves the possibility of a sequel open, which would be great. In short, while I was disappointed by The Witch Watch , I do still recommend it for fans of low fantasy, steampunk-y stories. Update : The above is more-or-less the review I posted on my blog. I do have some additional thoughts. One is an unoriginal observation; someone in Shamus's comments pointed out that the major characters don't have arcs. They are generally the same people at the end of the book that they were at the beginning. I agree, and I think that contributes to the book's episodic feeling. It doesn't feel like a self-contained novel. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but there it is. My other thought is that the comments to Shamus's various posts about The Witch Watch revealed that while Shamus's readership or commentership, actually is extraordinarily well-read in science fiction, they do not read a lot of Victorian fiction, either fiction written during that period or historical fiction set during that period, and Shamus himself is not a wide-ranging reader. The latter explains why the language is so "off" - Shamus hasn't read enough in the time period he's describing to know how people really talked. Heyer, for example, obsessively read every primary source [letters, diaries, etc. And the former explains why I was lukewarm on so many aspects of the book that other people got really excited about. Moxley, for example - I do think Shamus did a great job with him, and he's clearly original. What he is not is unique. I would be hard-pressed to name an historical fiction novel set in England that doesn't have a "fop" character like Moxley. So it was a little bizarre for me to read so many commenters gushing over how unique Moxley was. To me, he's a stock character. Anyway, all that said, I do still recommend the book to people who like low fantasy. May 25, Dev Null rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy. I want to say 3 and half stars, but I'll spot you half a star for being a new author, and for actually writing and publishing a book. I enjoyed this. Reminded me a bit of Pratchet in its self-mocking humor. The plot was interesting, and managed the nice trick of letting me guess what was going on long before the characters did, without my feeling like they were idiots for not getting it. The problem I have is that the characters and their arcs feel a bit shallow. And I actually ascribe this to the I want to say 3 and half stars, but I'll spot you half a star for being a new author, and for actually writing and publishing a book. And I actually ascribe this to the genre at least as much as to the author; seems like whenever anyone tries to do Victorian-era fiction - steampunk or not - we get a lot of caricature not character. Various stereotypes saying British things like "Cheerio" and "Pip pip", and sounding like Oscar Wilde characters. For all I know they actually said things like that in Victorian England, but it doesn't matter; realism does not always equal believable - the characters end up feeling flat. Funny, but fake. But overall this was a fun read, just not deep. And I don't think it was ever intended as anything else. Dec 08, E rated it it was amazing. I've been a fan of Shamus' blog for years and enjoyed his Static Shock online novel a great deal as well so I had pretty high expectations from this novel. I wasn't disappointed. The book itself is of nice quality - great for reading on the train. The content though is excellent. A quick read but interesting, engaging and funny.

If you'd like to support a small, independent author who churns out quality content at ridiculously reasonable prices so that you get far more value than you expected - this is the book for you. The universe this is set in is excellent as well. I sort of hope there are further works in it. Unlike a lot of other reviewers, I wasn't familiar with Shamus Young before I picked up this book my husband was, and recommended the book to me. I thought it was enjoyable, funny, peopled with interesting characters, and made good use of the historical setting. For me, it lagged a little in the middle, and there were a couple of suggestive conversations I could have done without, but overall it was a good story. I don't do the "for a self- published novel" thing, because these days there's no Unlike a lot of other reviewers, I wasn't familiar with Shamus Young before I picked up this book my husband was, and recommended the book to me. I don't do the "for a self-published novel" thing, because these days there's no reason a self-published novel can't be just as good as a traditionally published one. I thought this one held its own against plenty of other stuff I see on the bookshelves. Mar 26, Kelly rated it really liked it Shelves: books-read. I bought it because I know the author's sister, and obviously she proudly told us all about it. I thought it was relatively well written I could've used a little more character development and a little less stereotypical aspects to the characters, though. That being said, the storyline was fun and unique, and I enjoyed the premise. I also enjoyed the alternate England - that was a lot of fun, and I think there's a lot of room to grow in that "world" - even w I bought it because I know the author's sister, and obviously she proudly told us all about it. I also enjoyed the alternate England - that was a lot of fun, and I think there's a lot of room to grow in that "world" - even without the characters that were identified in this book. I'd like to see more of that! May 24, Mina Brokken rated it really liked it. I bought this book because the author created one of the funniest web comics I've read: DM of the Rings I was very pleasantly surprised to find a fun, well-thought out tale with interesting characters and an un-predictable plot. I hope to see more in this vein from Mr. Young in the future. Sep 17, Matt Sayer rated it really liked it. A fun and reasonably light read, with a great story that doesn't get too bogged down in details or endless exposition. Endearing characters with selfless motives are perhaps a little holier- than-thou, but nonetheless are engaging and extremely likeable. Definitely had a great time reading this book, and looking forward to the possibility of another. Jul 27, Robert rated it really liked it Shelves: fantasy. A very good first book from the man who brought us the DM of the Rings webcomic. This story centers around a case of mistaken identity and an apologetic underling. There are interesting characters and twists on our own history. The book flows pretty fast and is a fun read. More Details Original Title. Witch Wars 3. Other Editions Friend Reviews.
