If you love stories where magic meets machines, Release That Witch is perfect for you! Imagine a smart engineer from our world waking up as a prince in a medieval kingdom—where witches are hunted, and technology doesn’t exist. But instead of playing politics, he teams up with these powerful women to build factories, invent guns, and start an industrial revolution… with magic!

Why It’s So Fun to Read:

1. Clever Mix of Magic and Science – The hero, Roland, uses his engineering knowledge to turn witches’ powers into tools. Fire witches melt metal for steel, wind witches power machines, and healers save lives. It’s like Game of Thrones meets Steampunk!
2. Underdog Witches Become Heroes – Witches in this world are usually killed or hated, but Roland protects them and gives them purpose. Watching them grow from scared outcasts to key players in the kingdom is super satisfying.
3. Slow-Burn Kingdom Building – If you like watching a weak territory grow into a superpower, this book delivers. From farming upgrades to cannons and railroads, every step feels earned.
4. Big Battles & Mysteries – Beyond just building, there are wars, secret plots, and even a deeper threat (no spoilers!). The story keeps getting bigger without losing its charm.

My Reading Experience:

At first, I thought it would be just another “OP hero with magic” story, but it’s way smarter. Roland isn’t invincible—he struggles, makes mistakes, and needs his allies. The witches aren’t just sidekicks; they have deep backstories and personalities. Some parts get a bit technical (like how they make gunpowder), but it’s easy to skip if you just want the action.

The only downside? The ending feels a bit rushed, with some big ideas crammed in. But 90% of the book is pure fun—especially if you love smart world-building and seeing villains get outsmarted by science!

Who Should Read It?

• Fans of The Witcher (but with more tech)
• Anyone who liked Ascendance of a Bookworm (similar “modern knowledge in a fantasy world” vibe)
• Readers who enjoy slow but rewarding progression (like The Martian, but with magic)

Final Verdict: 9/10 – A fresh twist on fantasy that makes you cheer for the nerdy hero and his witch allies!
