![]() On these islands, the bone shard magic wielded by the emperor fuels monstrous constructs that enforce law and order. The story takes place in an empire consisting of many islands. The Bone Shard Daughter is the first book in The Drowning Empire trilogy by Andrea Stewart. As for the content of the book, let’s just say there are many good reasons why Andrea Stewart earned a six-figure deal for this trilogy. Some of you may know this already, but my interest to read a book-without any review from someone I trust-by a new author whose work I haven’t read before depends solely on the cover art of the debut, and thankfully, the gorgeous cover art by Sasha Vinogradova revealed last month did grab my attention. Honestly speaking, The Bone Shard Daughter was not on my radar despite people’s excitement on Twitter-where I found out about this book-back when the acquisition was first announced. This will most likely be my favorite fantasy debut of 2020. ![]() ĪRC provided by the publisher-Orbit-in exchange for an honest review. ![]() I have a Booktube channel now! Subscribe here. ![]()
