Blurb from Goodreads:
When Tea
accidentally resurrects her brother from the dead, she learns she is different
from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she’s
a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community.
But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes
Tea and her brother to another land for training.
In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha — one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles…and make a powerful choice.

My Review:
*I
received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. Thanks to
Sourcebooks Fire and NetGalley*
When Tea
accidentally resurrects her brother at his funeral, she learns that she is a
bone witch.
She must
leave her family to begin her training and understand how to control her
powers.
Bone
witches are feared because of their dark abilities and their numbers are
dwindling.
Will Tea
complete her training?
Will she
be able to stop the darkness that threatens the kingdom?
I was
intrigued by the premise of The Bone Witch - a young girl that can raise the
dead - but reading it I found myself disappointed.
Tea was an
okay protagonist but none of the characters really stood out to me.
The plot
was dull in places and seemed to drag out. I often found my attention
wandering.
I liked
the similarities between the asha (those with elemental magic) and Geisha -
asha also had to learn dancing, music etc.
Unfortunately,
this wasn't for me.
