It was about 75% of the way in that I realized the whole plot of the book is for Tea to learn. Knowing where a plot is taking us is ever better – not all the answers of the plot, but I find it is important to know where we are going when I am reading a book so that I can be on that journey with them. Yes, there are other terrific points and plots in those books, but overall the whole purpose is to destroy that ring. “What exactly is the plot of this book? Where are we headed?” Everyone knows that in Lord of the Rings the whole plot is to take the ring to a fiery mountain to destroy it. More than 10 times while reading this book I thought to myself. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice. In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha-one who can wield elemental magic. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.


Her gift for necromancy means that she’s a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. Summary: When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Time away from this book helped me put it in its proper perspective.
