Bone Witch

When Tea's brother dies, she is unwilling to accept his fate. So she does what all sisters would do, she raises him from the dead. Thus throwing her normal existence into chaos as she is taken from her family to train with the Dark Asha. This is not an easy life, as people are not so happy to be in the presence of dark witches. Tea is trained at one of the famous houses and life isn't easy for her. She is kind of stubborn and tends to jump into dangerous situations with both feet. She meets Prince Kance and finds herself attracted to him, which is forbidden, as his cousin Kalen continually tells her. Tea must find a way to protect everyone and also fulfill her own desires. These things are not often not he same path. This book is told in both the past and present. We meet present Tea who is on a quest to raise an army of Daeva- monsters risen from the dead, to attack the kingdoms. She is telling her story to a Bard as she winds her way through the graves. We also meet past Tea as her story is told. The mystery of how Tea became what she is in the present is fascinating to watch unfold, however, since this is going to be series, we are left with a shocker as an ending (I kinda figured...) This was an easy read that kept a great flow and threw enough twists and turns to keep it interesting. I recommend! Onward to the Seven Realms and Han's children next. Shadowcaster here I come. Happy reading my friends!
