The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart
3.0
3.5 stars
What lovely worldbuilding!! From a loveable animal companion, to creepy bone shard life-draining magic, to floating islands which move in and out of their years-long seasons, I am itching to learn more about this place.
While in many ways you could tell by the quality of the writing that this is the author's first novel, it also teems with creativity and depth. At times the chapters shifting character perspectives felt a little bit trite, whereas at others it became a necessary function of the storytelling. Despite a few misgivings, I will definitely be continuing with this series.
