3.5 stars

This was a highly creative, original, and well thought out book. I am not the biggest fan of fantasy, and it took me some time to get into this book. I did enjoy the imagery with a princess, a bone dog, a dust wife, demon possessed chicken and more.

Mara is the youngest and is aghast when she sees the treatment her sister receives from her husband. Naturally, she decides to take matters into her own hands with the help of the dust wife, who just happens to have a chicken possessed by a demon. Along the way they meet some interesting characters including Fenis,

I went back and forth on how I felt about this book. I thought the beginning was 3 star read and the later part of the book was 5 star read. So, I am going with 3.5 stars. Many are enjoyed this book than I did, so please read their reviews as well.

I enjoyed the creativity and originality of this book. It is highly imaginative and well thought out. This is one that I enjoyed but can't say that I loved all the way through.

I had a copy of the book and the audiobook, and I went back and forth between the two.

Thank you to Macmillan-Tor/Forge, Tor Books and Macmillan audio and NetGalley who provided me with a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All the thoughts and opinions are my own.
