7/7/2023 0 Comments The bone witch book 2![]() ![]() ![]() Dark asha are the only ones capable of controlling the demon-like daeva who plague the kingdoms, but they’re growing increasingly rare. Bone witches, or dark asha, are part of a highly powerful tradition of geisha-like spellbinders who serve as diplomatic and military forces in The Eight Kingdoms. She’s whisked away from her provincial town to begin her training as a bone witch. Tea Pahlavi is thirteen when she accidentally raises her brother from the dead. The scope of her world is massive, and the detail of it is thrilling and refreshing, yet the story Chupeco begins here ultimately underwhelms. Taking inspiration from the Middle East and Asia, the Ayyubid dynasty and Zoroastrianism, Chupeco steers us away from a Euro-centric landscape toward a setting that’s more diverse. In The Bone Witch, Rin Chupeco crafts a world beyond what we’ve come to expect from high-fantasy YA. ![]()
