This week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the young adult fantasy novel, The Bone Witch by Rin Chupero. This book was published in February 2017 and has a page count of 448 pages. The audiobook is read by Emily Woo Zeller & Will Damron and is 12 hours & 8 minutes in length. The following overview is provided from the B&N page: Tea can raise the dead, but resurrection comes as a price… When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother, Fox, 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.
This book ended up being darker in theme than I had thought it was going to be. The world structure is explained in such a way that I want to get lost in this world for a while. The character development is done in a meaningful way and has an intensity that makes it hard to not get attached. Not only is the book fantastic, audiobook was brilliant as well. I highly recommend this title to anyone who enjoys witchy books.
I give this book 4.5 out of 5 stars.
Tomorrow for the Missing Person Saturday feature, I am highlighting the missing person’s case of Chatani Brene Wilson. Next week for the Fiction Friday feature, I am reviewing the fictional young adult novel, Tigers, Not Daughters by Samantha Mabry. Until then keep reading on; Nerd out!
