Wow, I can definitely say I was not expecting that!!

The Bone Way follows Teagan, a witch, who goes to the Shadow Realm to find her wife, Cressidae. Cress left without her, even though they planned to go together. It’s the one place that can save Teagan from the lethal poison that is slowly killing her. It is ruled by a Princess said to grant deals those strong enough to find her. Despite the harm and rocky path ahead of her, Teagan wants more than anything to have her wife back. The Princess, however, does not let mortals roam her territories without opposition. Teagan and Cress must face the horrors of The Shadow Realm as well as their own past.

I loved the retelling aspect of this story. It follows a very loose retelling of Orpheus and Eurydice, and I loved it. It’s not what you think for a retelling, but it still holds true to the myth itself.

Now, for characters. This book is the length of a novella, so it’s pretty short. But in that time, Teagan and Cress were well developed. It’s one thing I didn’t expect for how short the book is! And the romance is to die for. Teagan and Cress have the love that you see in real life and wish you had.

I felt that the ending was a little too rushed for my liking so I took a star off, but I really liked this book!! It’s got sapphic witches who are in love, Orpheus and Eurydice retelling, and a fast plot! Highly recommend!
