The Bone Shard War by Andrea Stewart
5.0
adventurous tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Really awesome fantasy trilogy with an EPIC reveal about the magic system which I wouldn't have ever guessed. 
Talking animals, super unique magic system, political intrigue, supporting women's wrongs and rights, and a few love stories worth fighting for.
