after loving the bone shard daughter, i was very much looking forward to the sequel and the bone shard emperor does not disappoint! new characters, new reveals, new questions but also growth of existing characters and the same exciting plot. andrea's writing is gripping, especially with the way the chapters end, that you keep reading on. mephi and thrana, the adorable animal companions, stole my heart again. the battle scenes were excellent!! i didn't care much about jovis and lin's romance but as individual characters they definitely strengthened their footing.
the worldbuilding of this series gave way to some intriguing reveals that i'm excited to see addressed in the final book! the history of alanga, the magic behind it and the bone shard magic that were expanded upon became an interesting aspect. although, my favourite part about reading this have to be nisong's chapters. they're just sooo well written, her desperation and want for vengeance for the wrongs done to her. very eager to see how the series ends!
thank you netgalley and orbit books for the arc!
