The Bone Witch was an audiobook listen early on in lockdown, and while I enjoyed it I think it will be best to judge this series as a whole rather than on this first book for a few reasons.

This book felt a little generic to me, but showed potential to be a great YA fantasy serioes. It shows both the past and present for Tea -- both her discovering her power as a youth and her exile in the present day. I much preferred the small bits of her present situation more than her past -- I just didn't find young Tea to be a particularly interesting character. She follows the same beats as many YA heroines learning how to control her rare and special magic, and I feel like this kind of story has gotten a little stale for me personally.

However, Tea's mysterious exile and what she's doing absolutely hooked me and is the reason I'd be up for continuing the series. She's obviously been jaded and angered by something that happened in her past, and I think that this storyline will be the make or break the series for me. This is where I see a lot of promise for the series!
