Review: The Bone Witch
I was so fortunate to get an ARC of this book and what a creative ride.
WHAT IT'S ABOUT:
When Tea accidentally resurrects her
brother from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in
her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she’s a bone witch, a title that
makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and
guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to
another land for training.
In her new home, Tea puts all her
energy into becoming an asha — one who can wield elemental magic. But dark
forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to
overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice.
Memoirs of a Geisha meets The Name of the Wind in this
brilliant new fantasy series by Rin Chupeco!
RELEASES MARCH 7, 2017.
ADD TO GOODREADS
The book took a while to get into and was a bit confusing,
but super kudos for creativity. The pacing I found to be slow, sometimes
tedious. I think I was expecting more action with such amazing
characterizations of the good and evil characters. However, the world building
is top notch. There’s no holding back on description in this book, if you can
handle it. I didn’t always enjoy the flipping of perspective between the past
and present, but I’m the type of reader who wants everything in the now and not
the past. So, no fault of the author on this; it’s probably me. I’m not patient
through long passages on what already happened and find myself skim reading,
which I probably shouldn’t. But all of it was worth it for the twists at the end.
I’ll be picking up the next in the series.
