    I enjoyed this audiobook. The main narrator is very talented, and there's something about her voice that just matched the vibe and pacing of The Bone Witch well. The book itself: I actually loved the switch-ups between the perspectives/times, and the other narrator was well chosen for his role as well as being a complementary tone to the main one (sorry I don't have the names at hand). I thought the pacing was generally done well, and enjoyed the calm, consistent feeling that even persisted during the higher tension scenes. The magic system was not unnecessarily complicated, nor was it underdeveloped. The areas where it fell down for me: it left a little too much open ended. I know it's a series, but I think it leaned a bit too far into having some of those gaps be left for the next book. The magic system, while developed to a point that worked for this novel, was slightly underwhelming. Perhaps I had different expectations based on the title? Lastly, the narration was a touch too repetitive; some things were repeated too many times and some conversations were rehashed with nothing added to them. Overall, I did enjoy The Bone Witch, and while I am not desperately clamouring to get to it immediately, I will definitely be listening to/reading the next.

    i really do think one of my least favorite tropes in fantasy are strange/prophetic dreams. i understand why they're useful from a plot device/worldbuilding/lore perspective. but they get tiring for me after two or three instances lol
