The Bone Witch There once lived a young girl named Tea who possessed a unique and mysterious power. She had the ability to raise the dead and command their spirits. In the world she lived in, magic was not uncommon, but her power was something uncommonly strong and rare. When Tea accidentally raised her brother from the dead, she discovered her powers and was whisked away to a hidden school called the House of Thorns. This school was home to a group of powerful individuals known as Bone Witches who specialized in the art of necromancy. Under the tutelage of Lady Mykaela, a formidable Bone Witch, Tea learned to hone her abilities and control her powers.
Title : The Bone Witch
I love how she has handled many situations that are on the book but above all, we see a lot of female power in a world clearly dominated by men, I really felt that revolutionary energy and I liked it a lot. This method of telling Tea s story is honestly one of the most beautiful things about it, as when coming to the end of the trilogy we re essentially given two great endings.
Under the tutelage of Lady Mykaela, a formidable Bone Witch, Tea learned to hone her abilities and control her powers. She was taught the art of combat, spellcasting, and how to navigate the politics of the magical world. However, this training did not come without sacrifice.
The Bone Witch
Tea can raise the dead, but resurrection comes at a price.
When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother, Fox, from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she's a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.
In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha—one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice.

I really tried to like "The Bone Witch", but I found the story to be convoluted and hard to follow. The flashbacks often confused me and disrupted the flow of the present-day narrative.

Sadly, this book wasn't for me.
