꧁꧁Book Review꧂꧂
The story follows Tea, a bone witch who has the ability to resurrect the dead and defeat demons. After she raised her brother from the dead, which was right at the beginning, nothing happened. Literally nothing and I kept waiting for something exciting but it was just boring and lacking any sort of plot or character development.
I listened to this as an audiobook and I really struggled with this one, I think part of it was the narrator’s different voices for characters that just made me cringe when I wasn’t laughing (it wasn’t meant to be funny…).
I liked how the bard’s narrative showed him listening to Tea telling him about her exploits as a trainee bone witch (or lack thereof) in the present and thought this was a really interesting way to tell the story. I looked forward to his change in narrative but it was few and far between.
Overall, this lacked any excitement or just anything for me and the only reason I finished it was because it was an audiobook!
