So this is very much a YMMV sort of situation so I’m not going to rate it. It’s - for what I can tell - written fine. I just really don’t care for books that serve as backstories. I want to be dropped into the middle of the story and be forced to figure out the backstory through little mentions and context clues and all.

And I would continue on with the series but The Bone Witch didn’t end with the start of the plot line. There’s still more backstory to come. Additionally, it ended on a note that well... let’s just say that I’m pretty confident that there is nothing for me to gain by continuing to read the series. You might. I’m sure this series ends in a way that is important to someone else. Almost certainly one of those people is Rin Chupeco.

In short. This is not the book (or the series) for me.
