By: Rin Chupeco

Narrated by: Emily Woo Zeller, Will Damron

In the captivating start to a new, darkly lyrical fantasy series, Tea can raise the dead, but resurrection comes at a price.

When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother 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.

*whisper* It was okay *mumble mumble*

first audiobook I've ever skipped chapters because it had become so boring and intolerable. I stuck around because I like the parts of the world and some characters. they had a couple very good highlights and a couple very bad sections. also a constant problem of extremely varying volumes. The female narrator loves to whisper and mumble so quietly you cannot hear anything even though just seconds ago they were talking so loudly that even without yelling your ears hurt. And if you dare turn that volume up they will immediately yell again using a shrill voice without warning for one of the most unlikable characters at least that much is fitting. lots of made of magic mumbo jumbo and a lot of it is just there to be there. replacing the words honor and dignity with fake words just so you could say those fake words four times in a row making you forget which is which and then never mentioning it again. it makes what this book could be ,and in this world may hold be muddied.

Love the book, not the volume control

The book kept me enthralled… The story was rich and full, but the narrator was so quiet half the time that I couldn’t hear.

Story isn’t bad

Really well ah they had just let the female actor perform the novel. It’s too distracting, and pulled me out of the story every time.

Beautifully Complex

This book truly brings the world inside of it to life. The emotion and all the complexities of the life of a bone witch are brought forth in a way you can easily follow while sacrificing none of its world building or your emotional attachment to what's happening. Truely a beautiful peice of literature.

Great Story, Bad Narration

Story is great. Towards the end of the first book I got tired of listening to the whiney narration.
