Weekly Roundup

This week’s reading started out great, with me finishing two books and starting too more. I also put out three blog posts! But now I’ve got a nasty cold that has left me feeling rundown and interrupting my sleep, so there might be a rough week’s reading ahead. Read on to find out the details!

Book Review: The Bone Shard Daughter

The emperor’s reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire’s many islands.

Lin is the emperor’s daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. When her father refuses to recognise her as heir to the throne, she vows to prove her worth by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic.

Yet such power carries a great cost, and when the revolution reaches the gates of the palace, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her birthright – and save her people.

Summary: The Bone Shard Daughter by Andrea Stewart is an imaginative and fun epic fantasy debut, that had me compulsively turning the pages to see what would happen next. The book has a unique magic system, a well realised setting, and plenty of relatable characters for readers to love.
