Being born undead can have its disadvantages, such as eternal youth and flawless beauty-things most unsuitable for a witch. Hiding behind the guise of a grimy old crone, the witch is content living outside Fort Stalwart with her unlikely band of allies: a troll named Gwurm, an enchanted broom, and a demonic duck named Newt. She leads a simple life filled with spells, potions, and the occasional curse. So when a White Knight arrives at Fort Stalwart, the witch knows that her days of peace are at an end. The Knight is just days in front of a horde of ravenous goblings, and Fort Stalwart lies right in the horde's path. But the goblings are just the first wave of danger, and soon the witch and the Knight must combine forces on a perilous quest to stop a mad sorcerer from destroying the world.… (mere)

    De små blå mænd : en fortælling fra Diskverden af Terry Pratchett (Anonym bruger)
    Anonym bruger: A Nameless Witch reads a lot like Terry Pratchett novels. Try the Wee Free Men / Tiffany Aching books (more for children, but enjoyed by adults) or try any of his Discworld series that involve the witches (targeted for adults). The books have the same attitude toward what it really takes to be "witchy."… (mere)

Non so bene cosa dire di questo romanzo. Ammetto di averlo letto con poca attenzione e molta sbadataggine, quindi è possibile che non l'abbia apprezzato come meritava, ma tant'è.

Il fatto è che l'inizio mi è piaciuto: era abbastanza divertente e intrigante da farmi desiderare di proseguire nella lettura. Anche il finale non è stato male, visto che rifugge dai soliti schemi.

Il problema è stato tutto ciò che c'era in mezzo. Nonostante le battute e le scenette divertenti, infatti, mi è sembrato troppo piatto. Mi è capitato di sorridere, certo, ma niente che smuovesse in maniera significativa la mia ilarità.

È una lettura che non mi ha lasciato assolutamente nulla – ma, ripeto, forse è stata anche colpa mia. Lo consiglio a chi è in cerca di qualcosa di leggero, che inizi a leggerlo consapevole della semplicità del romanzo. ( )

This was an easy, fun read with some real truths tucked away in the corners. The characters were unique and well fleshed out. The Nameless Witch with her curse of immortality was an amazing person who was just the opposite of what people expected in a witch. I loved her wise cracking familiar Newt. The tongue in cheek comedy kept the story light and made it an enjoyable story right up to the very end. This was not a m/m romance and while there was a hope at romance between the witch and Wyst, the story was more about following your own reality. There was a HEA of sorts in my opinion. This was a good book to kickoff the Halloween reading season. ( )

I really enjoyed this whimsical adventure that was reminiscent of The Princess Bride. I adored the quirky characters and enjoyed the plot. My only complaint was that it felt a little rushed; so much packed in for such a short story. It did feel a touch repetitive when mentioning her lust/cannibalism and her need to always hide her beauty. I also felt it could have had a 'happy ending' for the star crossed lovers without it feeling cheesy.
As for the nameless witch, I was feeling either Serena or Willow...

But in the end, I still loved the journey. ( )

This book has all the ingredients to be a book I will love. It's wildly imaginative You got a demon duck, a ogre who mixes and matches parts like Mr. Potato Man, a broom with O.C.D., and a white knight. Did I say the book has a demon duck named Newt? He's bent on bloodshed and destruction and his favorite food is duck.

The book stars the nameless witch. She picks up the aforementioned characters along the way to do her vengeance quest.

But so many times while reading the book (maybe like the impatient Demon Duck), I wondered how much longer we had to go and that's why I have to give the book only three stars.

Review: Well okay. Not the best book I've ever read nor the worst, it did keep my attention, but I could stop reading in the middle of a chapter with no trouble. ( )

It goes without saying that I couldn't have done this without her. I'm saying it anway.

To the DJW Writer's Workshop:
A place that proves if you get enough talented people in a room, one or two are bound to offer some helpful advice. Kind of like monkeys with typewriters.

A gifted writer, intelligent and funny. And for the record, NOT a bigger Buffy fan than me.
