If you enjoy fantasy stories in the vein of The Witcher—following a lone slayer from supernatural problem to supernatural problem—then today’s review and book recommendation might be for you.In this episode, Jim goes solo to review Witchazel, A Slayer’s Pilgrimage I, the debut dark fantasy novel by T.C. Roberts-Finn. Inspired by The Witcher and even Blade Runner, this book delivers episodic “monster of the week” adventures centered on Kaleb Slow, a troubled slayer wandering a grim world filled with magic, demons, lycanthropes, and a mysterious disease slowly destroying everything.Jim breaks down:• What the book does well—and where it struggles• How the episodic structure works (and for whom it works best)• Why the meta-narrative and ending may divide readers• Who should absolutely check this book out—and who may want to passThis is a spoiler-lite review, perfect if you’re curious if this is one of the books to read for you, but not ready to commit yet.💬 Have you read Witchazel?
