I saw everything coming which was a little bit of a bummer but not bad. Also the shifting POV from first to third person was a little jolt but mostly worked in the end.
“The Bone Shard Daughter”?? More like the bone shart in my mouth and pluck my eyeballs out so I can stop reading this book daughter!!!
In this book they use shards of people’s bones to like control them with magic and shit but I guess someone is using my bone shard to bore me to death because I simply just did not care about anyone or anything in this book!!
Like I care more about Meredith Marks’s new DJ career than I care about the plot of this book (and I only mildly care about DJ Meredith).

A superb debut-novel from Andrea Stewart. Surprisingly deep world-building and multiple POVs to follow. My second-best book of the year after The Ember Blade. A real treat.
This was my third attempt reading this book, I DNF’d it twice. I just wasn’t ready for this level of fantasy, but I knew I’d love it once I was ready. And oh boy, did I LOVE IT! This was incredible! The world, the characters, the story and Mephi! Oh my sweet sweet baby boy Mephi how I love him so.
This was just so beyond perfect, the world building was subtle and you really needed to read into the context clues, nothing was told it was shown. Truly incredibly writing, but all over I love how it answered the majority of the original mysteries in book 1. The answers lead to more questions but that’s why it’s a series!
I truly cannot wait to read the next book, I’m just going to be waiting by my front door for the postman to deliver me my next hit of Mephi!

Mephi is the best boi. Animal companion done well.
I was not surprised with the Bayan and Lin were construct and Lin was a copy of the daughter reveal, but I didn't see the twist of the wife coming - although big bad guy tried to build his wife again is kinda cliché too.
I really enjoyed the difference between first person and third person POVs. My dumbass didn't even notice until 60% into the book, made it distinctive between the main two and side characters.
Somehow this book was a slog in the first 10%, it took me a whole month to read through the first 60 pages. Then eventually I couldn't put it down, I sort of knew where the story was going but I just need to see it written, you know? So it's not mind blowing, but I enjoyed it.

Superb worldbuilding. Intriguing characters navigate an empire on the verge of change.

Jovis and Mephi have my whole heart. I haven't felt so invested in a series and cast of characters like this in a while. Unlike other books with multiple POVs, I didn't find myself with a preference to one POV. All POVs were extremely well done and stuff was always happening, which kept me hooked. I'm really looking forward to picking up The Bone Shard Emperor.

i really enjoyed this book (despite it taking me over a month to finish). it’s sometimes hard for me to really sink into a book when each chapter is changing perspectives, but about halfway in it started working really well to build suspense.
the bone shard magic is really unique! and i love a talking animal sidekick! and lesbians! and toppling corrupt government!

It took a little while to make sense but by the end it was worth it. Pretty entertaining and made me look forward to the next book.
