Blog Tour: The Bone Shard Daughter
Welcome to my second book tour of the summer! I am excited to be part of this one as well. I first heard of this book via the excellent newsletter Sapphic Read. From then I managed to luck my way on to this book tour.
Even getting the Netgalley was exciting for this as I had never done it before. This was my first digital ARC. Which was an experience in it’s way. Getting Netgalley going and working out how to get it to my kobo was a puzzle but I managed it.
The Bone Shard Daughter is a high fantasy novel where a kingdom and it’s islands are ruled over by the Emperor after he banished an evil of the lands. However he is a tyrannical and paranoid man who is ruling the kingdom with an iron fist through his constructs which he controls through shards of his peoples bones. His daughter Lin is stuck in a battle against her foster brother Bayan in who will earn her Father’s respect first. Meanwhile there are rebellions afoot, couples who have to make tough decisions and very strange beasts around the place.
Honestly this book was even better than I expected. It’s so incredibly immersive that I honestly felt like It was glued to my fingers. The level of world building was insane. I honestly felt that I had lived there.
There are a lot of POV’s to keep up with which generally isn’t my favourite however here I would say I only got lost a couple of times. Some of the characters have already become new faviorites while others well lets just say a few of these characters need to learn a few lessons on how to treat their partners because I will be honest that really annoyed me.
In fact the book was probably at it's slowest at these moments of interplay between two characters who I don't wanna spoil who they are but they are important. However how dysfunctional hideous their relationship was just a little bit triggering for me so be careful on that.
On the other hand the running story of a smuggler and his new talking pet cat thing is honestly the most important and wholesome plot thread and I love them both. I wish them well and if anything bad happens to them I will have to revolt!
This book honestly feels massive. As we’re living in a post Game of Thrones world I kinda hope this becomes the next one. The concepts in this are awesome. The magic is scary as hell and the stakes are higher than high.
This one builds up to what is obviously going to be a series and frankly I can’t wait to see what happens next. The stakes are high and the stage is set for The Bone Shard Daughter to be Fantasies next big thing!!
When her (admittedly ambitious) dreams of becoming a dragon slayer didn't pan out, she instead turned to writing books. She now lives in sunny California, and in addition to writing, can be found herding cats, looking at birds, and falling down research rabbit holes.
