The Bone Shard Daughter

This book exceeded my expectations significantly!

I have never been a big fan of the “archipelago world” concept, but this book executed it flawlessly.
On top of that, we had a super original magic system (actually at least 2 of those) and a very dark atmosphere.
I also loved the characters of this story. We followed a few POVs - all multilayered and very surprising. They had flaws and blind convictions, but those were done skilfully and only emphasised the potential of each POV.

The story itself turned out to be way more complex and twisted than I expected, and while I managed to guess one of the big twists fairly early in the story, I was not prepared for the whole picture!

I highly recommend this book and can't wait to continue with the series!
