The Bone Witch by Rin Chupeco

Blurb: Tea is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy makes her a bone witch, who are feared and ostracized in the kingdom. For theirs is a powerful, elemental magic that can reach beyond the boundaries of the living—and of the human.

Great power comes at a price, forcing Tea to leave her homeland to train under the guidance of an older, wiser bone witch. There, Tea puts all of her energy into becoming an asha, learning to control her elemental magic and those beasts who will submit by no other force. And Tea must be strong—stronger than she even believes possible. Because war is brewing in the eight kingdoms, war that will threaten the sovereignty of her homeland…and threaten the very survival of those she loves.

My Thoughts: This cover is amazing! Isn't it? I absolutely love it. The description of the book was so promising too. I love, love, love YA fantasy and this had all the makings of something that could be amazing! Unfortunately, I found it pretty boring. I just couldn't get into it. Every now and then I'd get to part with beautiful prose. The descriptions were just lovely and I could picture the entire thing perfectly. However, the story moved too slowly. It took a long time before I finally figured out what the plot was. I really wanted to love this book, but I couldn't. Now, on the bright side, it really is a great story! The characters are wonderful, the plot is well developed, and the overall storyline is original. If it had moved faster, then it probably would have gotten five stars from me.

I give it three stars, simply because the story moved so slowly that it was incredibly hard to get through.

Here is where I would normally post the author bio. However, I think you should just go to her webpage and read it for yourself. You'll understand why I didn't post it here. It just wouldn't be as good. :)
