This was cool and I was all set to watch her master her powers and grow into her role. There's a dark temptation pulling her in. This felt so interesting at the beginning of the story bc she's a witch who doesn't know how to control her powers and it's alluring to her. Bc she only deals with necromancy twice, by accident. While I like that Tea is randomly a bone witch, I also found it a bit hard to care about her being one. Everyone has a heartsglass once they reveal their abilities at a given age, there's specialization of abilities, customs surrounding the heartsglass, and post death scenarios, etc. The settings, culture, and (most) of the magic is fleshed out for you, usually in long descriped imagery, but it's consistent. Aside from the maps and glossary pages, this world seems pretty believable. The best thing this book has going for it is the worldbuilding. If you don't like character driven stories, then you probably won't like this. Firstly, this is a memoir of a necromancer named Tea. It's got a lot of positives and a lot of drawbacks. This is a story that you need to let happen to you.
