The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco

letsbebookfriends's review against another edition

3.0

* 3.5 stars*

While I loved the plot and non-linear storyline, this novel fell flat for me. I liked the world-building and the Asian mythology, but I could have done without the characters info-dumping about the different kingdoms and cultures.

Furthermore, I was distracted by the overwhelming number of secondary characters, and the slow pacing in the middle of the novel almost made me set this down a few times.

Overall, I thought it was enjoyable and I may continue on with the series, but it's not high on my list.

This trilogy completely stole a piece of my heart. Each book just kept getting better. The second is my favourite; I did find the third book dragged a bit. But oh my goodness, completely captivated by the premise, the characters and the scope of the story. Absolutely loved it.
