The Emperor's Bone Palace by Hailey Turner

“A heart was a dangerous weapon, after all.”
First, phenomenal. Truly this is epic world-building to the next level. My heart has been on an emotional rollercoaster since I started, and frankly I’m not sure when it’s going to stop. Probably not until I can devour the third book, and I need that chonky beauty—cause we know it’s going to be weighty like the final resolutions—in my hands now.
Second, I would give my all for Soren and Vanya. I am invested in all the characters, Caris especially tugs at my heart, which has cried, screamed, yelled, cheered, laughed, and swooned too many times to count; it still is, and will be for days. Have I shared how I need the next book? But there’s something…more about Vanya and Soren. They have a magic of their own and it thrills, comforts, and compels, all at the same. And the more we see of them, the more I want to never let them go.
Third, I despise, and I mean with every vein in my body, despise Eimarille and her Blade. I used to think I admired her, but now, oh now, I just want her gone. And that means everyone who sides with her. And I’m not talking about a peaceful, gentle slide into nothingness. No, the rage that burns in me for this villainy is hotter than starfire, but there’s no putting it out.
All I can say is that if the first book left you gasping and demanding for more, then, you need to read this now. And if The Emperor’s Bone Palace leaves you breathless with your heart pounding uncontrollably, your mind reeling from all the twists and turns, and your emotions twisted and pieced together like a clockwork heart, then know you’re not alone and we can band together until our hearts are whole with the final book.
