The Bone Witch

This novel was a slow starter for me - great premise, but not one that grabbed me from the get-go. However, the writing was lovely throughout and that kept me willing to press on. I'm glad I did, because I think this is the start of a really interesting YA fantasy series. Tea is a compelling heroine, and watching her come into her power has been exciting. The author is peppering the narrative with hints of even bigger things to come, and I am definitely along for the ride. This one does require some patience, but for me it very much paid off.
