Next up for my trilogy book project is The Bone Witch series. I‘ve read Bone Witch a while ago and will be re-reading it again during my luxurious weekend off. Heart Forger and Shadow Glass to follow soon-ish.

(2018) Second in Chupeco's "Bone Witch" trilogy, a high-fantasy YA series featuring a necromancer and her friends. I wasn't a fan of the first -- too angsty, too clunky, too meandery -- but I got the whole series in an omnibus deal, so I tried the second anyway. And yay, I liked it better. It's still angsty and clunky in parts, but the plot has much better direction, and on balance I liked it well enough to look forward to the last volume.

2nd book in this trilogy. I liked this world of necromancy. In this book Tea continue her journey to find her friend‘s heartglass (no spoiler). This trilogy is so gloomy. Almost every story and journey is so sad. There are no many fun or happy scenes but I‘m still want to know what will happen with these characters, specially with Tea. 3.8⭐️

This one has some of the pacing issues that are common in middle books of a trilogy, and so far the whole thing feels like it wanted to be one REALLY big book instead of three separate books, but still really enjoyable.

The second book in the trilogy is just as strong as the first. The same foreboding story structure but with additional intrigue and danger. These are a very fun series of books. More relationships, more monsters, more heartbreak.

Tea‘s story continues as her hold on the dark increases and she begins to unearth rotten truths of the kingdoms. I love the overall tone and feel of this world. Nothing is easy and everything comes at a price. Every relationship, every encounter is just another uphill battle and pulls the reader in. #youngadult #darkfantasy

I‘m really enjoying this series! It definitely feels like YA, but the fantasy world here is fantastic! There was more character development in this one, and more LGBTQ characters, which was good to see. The world building was as good as the first book, which is to say it was great! Looking forward to seeing how it all comes together. Three and a half stars. ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

BehindthePages This is a current read of mine. 😀 This one seems to be much faster paced than the first. I love the world as well! 3y

Still love the darkness and world-building, but it felt a little more stereotypically YA. Romance was a bit cheesy. I think I want to like it more than I actually do.

The second book in the trilogy, we continue with Tea's story... now wondering what caused her to be so feared and hated by those who loved her. It seems like she's the villain in the present setting, and yet I rooted for her every step of the way.

After reading "The Bone Witch", I was glad to see that "The Heart Forger" was immediately avilable for me to read. Following these geshia-like warriors, I was once again enthralled by the storyline and cannot wait to hear the third book... once the library adds it that is.

I really wanted to love this book as much as the first. The plot is still there, but the execution is getting sloppy. More than once she used the wrong character's name, her grammar was horrible, and the romance she threw in - 🙄 It was you quintessential YA romance. Boy despises girl, girl despises boy until they both suddenly realize they've been in love this whole time. I'm sticking out for book 3 bc the plot still has me. 3/5 ⭐

Laughterhp She used the wrong characters name? 😬😬 I read the first one and loved it, but totally forgot what happened so haven‘t read the second one yet. 5y
WhatThePuck @Laughterhp more than once. I'm wondering how much editing and proofreading happened with the 2nd book. Lol. 5y

Jess_Franzino While I loved the book, I noticed the typos as well. 5y
WhatThePuck @Jess_Franzino I could've forgiven the typos. The romance really set me off and the typos were added annoyance. 5y
Jess_Franzino @WhatThePuck I actually like Kalen/Tea, though mostly because of the mislead about Kance, as well as the irony about the prophecy regarding Tea‘s love, which had originally led Kalen to believe that Tea was a threat to Kance. But, I get how the hate-to-love thing can be cringe-worthy, especially in YA. 5y

My reading has been very unfocused the past couple of months, so it's taken me a while to finish this book. That has nothing to do with this wonderfully written story at all, though. This book was even more beautiful than the first in this series, the relationships between characters more detailed and intimate. I look forward to reading the next book.

I flippin‘ LOVE Rin Chupeco! This book was even better than “The Bone Witch”. Such beautiful emotion, political intrigue, & astounding characters. The relationships between the characters are just so well developed & the dialogue is snappy and realistic, yet poignant all the same. Tea‘s relationship with both Kalen & her brother have stolen my heart. Also, SUCH AN ENDING. Don‘t think I can survive the wait til March 1st for the final book.

There is not a character named “Vador”. His name is “Vanor”. WTF, editor? 😂

Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare I always think of editors like goalkeepers - they try to catch everything, but some mistakes slip through. They might have been super-busy the day they read that section and were rushing through it because their boss had dumped a load more work on them. Or they might have had a big personal issue distracting them at the time - close family member being in hospital or something 5y
Jess_Franzino @Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare I was just surprised, especially since this particular book is the kind that would have been combed through many, many times prior to publication. Wasn‘t complaining, just mildly amused that I spent a solid five minutes trying to figure out who “Vador” was 😂 (to be fair, this particular series has A LOT of characters). 5y
Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare Vader would have been more fun :-D I'd drop the publishers a line - they'd prob appreciate the chance to correct the mistake in future editions 5y
Jess_Franzino @Ye_Mighty_Andy_Spare That‘s a good idea, especially since I do adore Rin Chupeco‘s books! Of course, I must triple check and make sure that “Vador” isn‘t Vanor‘s long dead brother, or something similar, as that wouldn‘t be surprising given all the different families 🤣 However, given the context, it seems “Vador” meant “Vanor”. 5y

I really wanted to like this book. I loved The Bone Witch and the world created by Chupeco. The writing in The Heart Forger was weak and a bit dull. There was too much jumping around and I ended up confused. This was a let down after enjoying The Bone Witch so much.
