A review by nikkytheyo
The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart
3.0
I quite liked this book, despite the fact that up until its 20% I considered abandoning it.
The things with which I have problems are the fact that the narration changes between 1st and 3rd person, depending on the story arc, and that the world/setting is not explained, leaving you confused for the aforementioned initial 20% of the book. The story is interesting and the characters evolve throughout the narration (though this is definitely more on the Young Adult side, when it comes to depth and development of the characters), so I don't think that giving an overview of this fantasy world at the beginning would have hurt.
If I have to judge only on my feelings at the end of the book, I would give this 4 stars; but the frustration I felt at the beginning makes me stick to 3 only.
