Honestly, nothing super wrong with this book, it was just cringey, with a poor attempt at enemies to lovers. The foreshadowing, the way the past and present lined up on purpose to give us deeper insight into events. An average urban fiction. Perhaps one of my favourite things about this series (other than absolutely everything xD) was the way Rin Chupeco chose to weave the story. ", a fascinating world and a rich atmosphere for a story that is exceptionally written from beginning to end, Readers who enjoy immersing themselves in detail will revel in Chupeco's finely wrought tale. Events have still yet to unfold and I was left with a cliffhanger worse than any recent books have been able to give me. The plot is not defined and difficult to follow. The Bone Witch follows Tea (pronounced Tay-uh.. as I learned after half of the novel had been read), a young girl who has lost her brother, Fox, to a daeva (basically a demonic monster-like creature) while serving in their form of a military. A story of scorned witches, sinister curses, and resurrection, The Bone Witch is the start of a dark fantasy trilogy, perfect for fans of Serpent & Dove and The Cruel Prince.

The story is literally being told by Tea in past tense as she explains to Bard her story. Tea was born in a small village in Odalia, Knightscross, during the height of an eclipse. She has a way of walking into trouble! It makes me so sad that this book got a bad review personally, The Bone Witch is in my top 3 favorite books and I feel it is seriously underrated. Yet earlier, when Tea is angry at Kalen for suggesting she wants to curse him, she responds I dont want to curse you. This was only half the truth, because I was angry and did wish I knew how to shut him up. Tea states her emotions, yet rarely appears to feel them the way she sees emotions being felt by other characters. I really enjoyed the wayThe Bone Witchwas narrated, even if at first I wondered why chapters were written in italics! I love the descriptions of the clothes, the food and just everything. .

I was fully thinking in book one we were going to see Prince Kance and Tea develop into a thing, however I love that it was with Kalen instead. Tea must decide if the cost of losing her life, one battle at a time, is worth staving off the demonic onslaught. It was refreshing, to say the least, when finding fantasy books without romance can be looking for a needle in a haystack oftentimes.I cannot wait to continue reading Teas story in the Heart Forger and the Shadowglass.
