The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco

The Bone Witch (Bone Witch, #1)

by Rin Chupeco

A bard meets a young girl living in exile along a sea of skulls. At his urging, she recounts her beginnings and rise in a society of spellbinders called asha. As a bone witch, her powers of necromancy make her feared and shunned by the populace, but tolerated for her abilities to slay daeva – fearsome beasts that plague the kingdoms.

But there is more to the girl than she first appears. Soon the bard begins to suspect that there is more to her tale than what she claims, and that he has a far greater role to play in her story than even he realizes.

The storytelling in this book is so unique and my smol brain struggles to wrap itself around just how amazingly vast Chupeco’s fictional world is. As somebody who aspires to write Fantasy (but always gets steamrolled by the worldbuilding), let me just say that the author deserves all of your RESPECT for this imaginative masterpiece. The Bone Witch is the perfect example of true high fantasy AND IT’S DIVERSE. What more do you really need? Maybe some waffles.
