Tea unexpectedly raises her brother from the dead, and with this her whole world changes.
They first book in the series sees a scholar coming to the shores where Tea as a Bone Witch raises dead creatures and reanimates them. She tells him her story and how she comes to be in this desolate and lonely place.
It was a fantastic read, to hear a woman's voice, telling her story with all the intricacies that comes with her having become a dark one that can muster dark magic.
The world unfolds layer by layer it is not rushed it comes in its on pace and I love the story told for taking its time even more.
I listened to this as an audible book. For once, I have to admit that I did not like the female narrator's voice and her rendition of the text. Tea got too often too tearful within the narrator's voice. However, this may be a YA and or a cultural issue.
