The Bone Witch by
Rin Chupeco is a story in a mystical world where bone witches are feared for
they can raise the dead and have very powerful magic. Tea is a young girl who
lives with her parents in Knightscross, a small village in the kingdom of
Odalia. Her older sisters are respected witches of water and forest. One day,
without meaning to, Tea raised her brother, Fox, from his grave. Another bone
witch, Mykaela, comes to see Tea and informs her that she needs to leave her
home and train with other ashas or witches. When Tea arrives in Ankyo, the
capital of the kingdom of Kion and enters The Willows, the home of the most
powerful asha, Mistress Parmina, she is thrown in a world of lessons and
intense training. During her training, she visits an oracle who tells her she
is hovers between being a force of good and a source of evil. She will change
the world. Will Tea heed the oracle’s warning? Will she strive to be a force of
good? Or will she turn to darkness?
The Bone Witch is
an interesting premise and story which certainly opens itself to multiple
books. It was a bit slow at points with no real action until about 75% into the
book. However, the descriptions of this world draws you in. The reader learns
with Tea as she deciphers the oracle’s message. I can't discuss too much of the events as it would give away too much information, If you enjoy fantasy worlds and
the realms of magic and adventure, I recommend The Bone Witch.
