#BookReview: The Bone Shard Daughter (The Drowning Empire #1) by Andrea Stewart

Synopsis: The emperor's reign has lasted for decades, his mastery of bone shard magic powering the animal-like constructs that maintain law and order. But now his rule is failing, and revolution is sweeping across the Empire's many islands.

Lin is the emperor's daughter and spends her days trapped in a palace of locked doors and dark secrets. When her father refuses to recognise her as heir to the throne, she vows to prove her worth by mastering the forbidden art of bone shard magic.

Yet such power carries a great cost, and when the revolution reaches the gates of the palace, Lin must decide how far she is willing to go to claim her birthright - and save her people.

My Review: I just don't know man. I started this one the other night and I hated it. The voice in this is supposed to be a 23 year old woman and she comes across as a child. I legit thought that this was starting out with this girl being maybe 6 years old. When it finally mentioned that she was 23 I was shocked. I think this one could have been so much better if the voice matched the age of the character.

Editors' pick: This fun, refreshing fantasy with heart should win Stewart a boatload of new fans who will yearn for book two."—Adrian Liang, Amazon Editor  --This text refers to the hardcover edition.
