Hi everyone! I am back sooner than I thought and have yet another fantasy book review for you all. I am on a bit of a fantasy kick right now so expect more fantasy novels sooner than later. Before I begin this review, I just want to say thank you all for your continued support. I genuinely appreciate you taking time out of your day to read my reviews. Now, with that out of the way, let’s talk about The Bone Shard Daughter.

Content Warning: Violence, Gore, Disturbing Imagery

For decades, the Emperor has ruled with an iron fist over the Phoenix Empire. He mastered bone shard magic and used that to create constructs, animalistic beings who exercise power and terrorize the people. Lin, the Emperor’s daughter, is determined to uncover her father’s secrets and dismantle his reign. She does so by learning to master bone shard magic. To destroy her father, Lin will come face to face with a secret that will change her life forever. But it is the price she must pay to prove her worth.

I was initially on the fence about whether or not I liked this novel. The world-building is interesting and I liked how unique the magic system was. Though I only mention one character in my plot summary, there are two other characters who we follow throughout the book. It wasn’t until the last 100 or so pages that I was sold on this book. I was rather impressed with the plot twists and love when a fantasy novel builds up to a war. Because of that, I am going to recommend this book and I will definitely make it a point to read the rest of the series.
