À propos de cet audio
In the captivating start to a new, darkly lyrical fantasy series, Tea can raise the dead, but resurrection comes at a price.
When Tea accidentally resurrects her brother from the dead, she learns she is different from the other witches in her family. Her gift for necromancy means that she's a bone witch, a title that makes her feared and ostracized by her community. But Tea finds solace and guidance with an older, wiser bone witch, who takes Tea and her brother to another land for training.
In her new home, Tea puts all her energy into becoming an asha - one who can wield elemental magic. But dark forces are approaching quickly, and in the face of danger, Tea will have to overcome her obstacles and make a powerful choice.

Zo Grey is reeling from the sudden death of her mother when she receives a surprising call from an attorney in Divinity, Louisiana, with the news she has been left an inheritance by a distant relative, the terms of which he will only discuss in person. Destitute and alone, with nothing left to lose, Zo heads to Divinity and discovers she is the sole beneficiary of a huge fortune and a monstrosity of a house that sits ominously at the peak of Watch Hill—but she must live in it, alone, for three years before the house, or the money, is hers.

[Phillipino author Rin Chupeco is non-binary and prefers the pronouns They/Them. I will honor that convention].
This book is essentially an establishment entry. Chupeco goes on to tell an interesting tale of political, military, and existential conflict through this trilogy, but in Book One (''The Bone Witch') they concentrate on a coming-of-age story for a reluctant antihero.
Tea ("TEE'uh") inadvertently reveals that she is a "Dark Asha" - a rare type of Necromancer that the world needs to hold off attacks from "Daeva" - monstrous demons that must be periodically raised & banished to keep the world in balance. Tea is taken from her village to the Capitol for training in magic, combat, and - oddly - music/dance/singing to entertain the aristocracy.
At the same time as telling this intriguing story, Chupeco creates a world where adult humans hold magical objects of different colors/types called heartsglasses (from which they draw power) - enhanced by analgously rare male wizards called "Heart Forgers"; a male mage class known as "Deathseekers" fight battles for the Eight Kingdoms; belligerent royalty maneuver & subjugate the other classes; a mysterious cabal of sorcerous villains known as "The Faceless" threaten society; the realm is somehow shaped by legendary myths involving love & betrayal, and typical confused teenage feelings of attraction, loyalty, independence, and insecurity complicate *everything*.
See what I mean? It's too complex for a 12-hour book..
Fortunately, Chupeco does a very nice job making the whole imaginative scenario surprisingly intuitive. Their vocabulary and prose are creditable, their dialogue - while admittedly often melodramatic - is realistic, and their description is more than capable. The problem is that it takes time. Chupeco basically uses this episode for characterization and to introduce the milieu (only after reading this book can you move on to the rest of the work).
Unfortunately, complaints of poor volume modulation from Blackstone Audio Inc. are legitimate. Will Damron - reading the part of "bard", a witness to the fully-trained Tea in a contemporary timeline - exhibits commendable diction, timbre, and cadence.. and injects an admirably interested tone. His reading is unspectacular yet professional.. but at least at a steady volume.
On the other hand, Emily Woo Zeller - reading Tea as an apprentice in a past timeline - is similarly passable, but delivers most of the text with a whispery quiet timbre that demands listeners strain to hear.. and then changes her volume drastically with overdramatic dialogue: performing with uncomfortably voluble interjections/near-shout emotional exclamations. AVOID EARBUDS IF YOU VALUE YOUR COCHLEAS.
To be honest, this entire series should be a single epic book in three parts. This first installment rates a mere 4.5 stars out of 10, but the lack of "standalone" merit shouldn't discourage you from going on with the series. It gets better.
Also in it's favor: it was included as a 'Plus' option - included with my subscription. If you can likewise get it for free, the investment of time and effort is worth the immersive YA-flavored Fantasy. Don't automatically pass if they ask for Credits.. but consider carefully.
