Witches of the
North: Winter Journey by
Nathaniel Oldrin is an intriguing fantasy that follows a twenty-three-year-old
transman named Christopher Hawks, who finds himself in trouble after breaking
the legendary sword of the kingdom of Northland. He is pursued by the elite
Hunters and is joined by two witches, Winter and Ian, on a mission to challenge
the current Queen. Winter’s behavior and impatience make Christopher think
that there can be more to the mission than what he has thought until now.
Oldrin develops
characters that are genuinely flawed and that arrest the attention and sympathy
of readers. Christopher is unique, a transman who was discovered by a lost
princess to be the holder of one of the Seven Stones of Jakkovost. He is a
man with common brown hair that sometimes covers even more common brown eyes
and who has “nothing to dazzle the world with apart from an exceptional level
of sucking at Hunting.” But there is more to this character than meets the eye
and readers will delight at watching as each layer peels off to reveal more strength
and beauty in his character. The relationships between Christopher and Winter
on the one hand, and Christopher and other companions on the other hand, are
well-written. The language is fraught with idiomatic expressions and the author
uses a unique style of writing to bring the magical world the characters
navigate into life. The neologisms and the names of peculiar, magical places augment
the level of mystery in this fantasy tale. Readers will discover the different
kinds of witches in this book and the elements they control. Witches of the
North: Winter Journey examines the power of choices, exploring themes like
fate, self-discovery, and human connection. This hugely imaginative tale will
entice readers with its lyrical and its sparkling dialogues. An adventure into a colorfully drawn magical
world that will enrapt readers.
