Crown of Bones by AK Wilder

Rating: WARTY!

A 'layered, surprise-laden fantasy' (Kirkus Reviews)" I'm outta here! "...perfect for 'those who enjoyed Leigh Bardugo’s Shadow and Bone trilogy and Rin Chupeco’s The Bone Witch trilogy'" Again, count me out. With two narrators it's doublessly a dual first person PoV which is another reason to avoid it. Here's the plot: "In order to master his powers and raise his phantom, the heir to the throne of Baiseen enlists a sailor and an amateur scribe to accompany him on his voyage." Huh? This tells me literally nothing about what's going on here. Pass (and by that I mean it's a fail).
