Everything You Need to Know About The Bone Shard War
Two years after The Bone Shard Emperor, Lin Sukai holds the Phoenix Empire's throne but little else. Her governors plot treason, the Shardless Few renew hostilities, and her old enemy Nisong has allied with Ragan, a rogue Alanga who wants Lin dead. Jovis, torn from Lin's side, spends much of the book enslaved through the same bone shard magic he once fought, his body under another's control while his mind hunts for a way out. The race that drives the plot is for seven mythic swords forged centuries ago, weapons that could decide the war. And underneath it all, the trilogy finally answers what the islands actually are and why they sink.
War violence and major character peril, body horror tied to bone shard and construct magic, enslavement and loss of bodily autonomy, an animal companion in danger.
For epic fantasy readers who came for one of the most inventive magic systems in recent memory, closer to Robert Jackson Bennett than to romantasy. Lin and Jovis have a relationship but it sits far in the background of an empire-scale plot, so do not come for the romance. Reviewers were split on the pacing of this finale, the middle wanders before the ending lands.
