Status Updates From Daughter of the Bone Forest...

Re read

I'm disappointed that Shaw doesn't know why Rosy doesn't want to bond with her. That she thinks she doesn't have feelings for her & that it ended without knowing her reaction to what Rosy's grandfather told her.

Since Rosy thought Shaw was just using her for power, I don't get why she doesn't just ask her to get her land back in exchange for her help or just because it's the right thing to do.

Madam Dyer always was a bitch

I knew that the Witch King wasn't good. But will Shaw believe Rosy if she doe tells her? Who will she be more loyal to?

Well that was tragic. Still, I can't help but wonder if the King attacked them first, since one of the men involved said: "He wishes to set our kingdom ablaze? This is our answer!" It feels more like a response. Is Shaw's dad really who she thinks he is, or is he lying to her? And did he have Rosy's grandfather killed & if so, why?

This is taking me so long to finish!

It's frustrating that they haven't really explained the difference between the types of witches & familiars & what each of their proposes are. All you get a little facts here & there that you have to try to piece together.

Shaw swore on her honor not to trap Rosy in a bond, so it's messed up that she's taking their courtship seriously when they agreed it was fake!

I'm confused. Rosy says that witches & familiars rarely married because the witch-familiar bond had so many more advantages. At first, I thought that meant that their bond was usually platonic, but so far, all the bonded pairs are couples. I just don't understand why getting married would influence or change the advantages of their bond.

I've seen this cover so many times and I finally picked it up. Now I'm kicking myself that I didn't pick it up sooner because so far this is such a different story - shapeshifters, bone creatures, political and magical intrigue. Why did I wait so long!?
