The Bone Witch is about an usually powerful and rare necromancer named Tea who is not expected to save the world but change it, for better and for worse. Her tale is told from two perspectives: that of a bard who finds seventeen-year-old Tea in exile and Tea herself as she tells him her story, beginning with discovering she had power over the dead when she unwittingly resurrected her brother during his funeral. The writing is lovely, but I thought what made this a standout novel was this storytelling structure and the extra dimension it added to Tea's character. The world was fascinating as well, though I felt this is where the book faltered a bit by providing a lot of information yet not enough about some aspects. However, I loved the main character and how she embraced her power, and I can hardly wait for the sequel.
