Other ashas control elements: fire, earth, water, wind. She completely takes her under her wing and teaches her about bone witches and their duties, while putting Tea on the path to become a very powerful asha. Mykaela is probably my favorite character in this world, and is an amazing teacher/mother figure to Tea. Luckily for Tea, when she resurrects her brother, a very powerful bone witch is in her town. The thing I look most forward to in this series is seeing how that bond grows, and how it affects both of them. I loved Tea’s relationship with her brother, and the bond they have. But Tea soon discovers she is a bone witch after accidentally resurrecting her newly dead brother at his funeral. Her parents and sisters all have “normal” magical powers/elements. The main asha of this book, Tea, doesn’t start out even knowing she could be an asha. “There is no greater strength than the ability to understand and accept your own flaws.” If you liked Memoirs of a Geisha you will probably really like this, too. Asha are pretty much Geishas and learning about them and their schooling was really enjoyable. This is a very early ARC, so I’m hoping that editors can cut this down a lot to help showcase the magic that was in the first half of this story.įirst off, I was sold on this book because 1.) look at this cover, and 2.) it surrounds asha, who are beautiful, talented, and amazing fighters with magical powers. Sometimes I would be taken out of the plot, because it was so overwhelmingly descriptive especially with our main protagonist’s lessons. This book has very, very long descriptions. Unfortunately, the last fifty percent of this book felt like it would never end, and not in a good way. If that pace continued, this book would have got an easy five star rating. I loved and devoured the first half of this book. ARC provided by the publisher via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
