    About this audiobook

    Fantasy and science fiction Grand Master Andre Norton's Witch World saga continues in Web of the Witch World. After repulsing the Kolder, the land of Estcarp is safe, until a sudden disappearance sends Simon Tregarth and his allies on a quest to stop an enigmatic new danger. Though the Kolder were defeated before, they rise again with a vengeance, and their plot is even more sinister than before. From Karsten in the south to the swamps of Tor to the Kolder's impenetrable stronghold and beyond, Simon must fight to stop the invaders of his adopted home once and for all.

      Oh-ho! I much preferred this to the first; considerably more developed in a coherent storyline, and the champter numbers made sense in their linearity. The revealed relationship was welcomed. Aldis proved worthy in her own way. The ending very well sets up interest in the future of our protagonists and their allies; the world opens to greater possibilities. The Kolder seem like the inspiration for different icy group of baddies to later terrorise lands on another world of fantasy television fame. The narrator was much more adept in his depiction of the female voices in making them varied and distinct.

      tl;dr: Highly recommended.

      This book really got me hooked and wanting to finish. Andre Norton really is superb.
    • 5/5
      Just as good as I remembered from the first time I read it in 1985.
    • 3/5
      A reasonably enjoyable book. There's some clunky grammar in here, and most of the characterisations are pretty thin, but it's not looking too shabby for a book that's nearly 50 years old! At any rate, it's been 20 years since I last read a Witch world book, so this served as a good reintroduction to that universe.
    • 4/5
      Hmm. Somewhat unsatisfying - too many coincidences, assumed deep plots (which, every one, flat-out failed for the plotters), pointless action just to move the story along and deal with Kolder permanently. The story ran on rails a bit too much. Useful in moving along the story of Witch World, but not much fun to read - not even Simon's deep musings on his relationship. I'll reread, but as a necessary step in reading WW, not for itself.
