Intricate and Intriguing The way the world, politics, and culture all entwined so seamlessly was wonderfully balanced.Quill is a complex character that doesn't bore and doesnt miss the mark.The world building was moved with the story, never pausing it.The layers of culture and politics meshed well and lent a depth to the world around Quill, giving insight into a broader world that Ketzer has created.This will be a world to visit frequently!

Killer Quill is great high fantasy! "Killer Quill" is an incredibly rich tapestry of high fantasy, revenge and villainy. If you love a heroine whose powers are truly original and unique and who overcomes odds, this book is for you.

The first Wisteraverse based Novella! Killer Quill is a fun departure from the fantasy norm. No romanticism here, you won't find Quill pining for lost love on these pages. Instead, author Shida Ketzer bursts on the literary scene with this first write. A fast paced succession of clever ideas keep us completely engaged. Bet you've never read a novella where the main character dies in the first few pages! (Then is brought back to life by a sentient quill) but I digress. The plot careens at full throttle - action, nonstop.This book ends all too soon, leaving me thinking about Quill literally for days to come. My highest recommendation! Can't wait for more from the über talented Shida Ketzer

It changed my mind This genre is usually not my type of story but Quill has changed my mind. I enjoyed this book a lot and have recommended it to others.

*no spoilers* A fantasy I didn’t expect to enjoy. I thought I wasn’t into fantasy, but this one… it’s something different. It hooked me fast (dark, strange, beautifully vivid) and I fell deep, staying there until the very last page. Quill is the kind of character who lingers with you: murdered, resurrected, and bound to a power that’s both breathtaking and terrifying. The magic system feels fresh, the pacing sharp, and the world drips with atmosphere without slowing the story down.I also appreciate that the author is upfront about the book’s tone and content - inviting you to read the sample and check the trigger warnings before diving in. It’s a fair, thoughtful gesture, and honestly, once I stepped in, I couldn’t pull myself out.
