The Bone Shard Daughter was nothing like I thought it was going to be, but in the best way possible.
-Multiple POV's, used effectively
-Hints and clues dropped across the POV's which had me scrambling to remember details and piece things together before the characters did
-Unique magic system
-Expertly done world building with minimal info-dumping
-Characters with unique and distinct voices
-Really good revealing of plot twists/hidden info.
One thing I didn't see mentioned anywhere is a content warning for body horror. Stewart does an excellent job of conveying without belaboring the point, but the underworkings of this world are down right horrific and I wasn't totally prepared for that.
All in all, an excellent read and I look forward to the next installments!
