Another great audiobook! This world lends itself really well to listening rather than physically reading. Another action packed story that fans of The Hunger Games or Divergent would probably really enjoy.

“‘Witch’ is the label society slaps on women it can’t understand or control.”

I freaking LOVED this book. Full of devine feminine rage, powerful women, magical realism, and female friendship. Add in a mystery, a dash of botany, and some seriously sassy writing. All the stars. Every woman should read this and then read it again once reaching menopause.

Good audiobook listen! If you made it through the world building in The Bone Season, it is time to reap the rewards in this book. Paige - our rather badass FMC - grows a lot into herself and her power throughout this action, drama, politically charged novel.
