2023 book 60

 Martha Wells' Witch King

Wells' latest is a return to fantasy for her, involving a powerful demon and his best friend, a witch, who escape a mysterious imprisonment and must figure out who captured them, and why—and also find the witch's wife, who is missing. This is interspersed with flashbacks to the story of how they met fighting an invasion and became mildly legendary. Really cool world building and magic stuff here and I enjoyed reading this a lot, I just found the ending to be slightly anti-climactic. Still very entertaining though. Wells is so good with characterization. A-.
