5/5 stars

*Possible spoilers below*

I LOVED this book. I loved the style, the writing, the Gothic horror, the protagonist, everything about it.
Bone Rites is told through the eyes of a British noblewoman, Kathryn Darkling. Kathryn is a morally complex protagonist with a bit of a ghost problem. She wants to do everything possible to save her brother, especially because she considers herself responsible for his death.
I loved the “deathbed confession” style of writing in this book. I’ve always loved the unreliable narrator types, and Kathryn is a perfect example. Check this book out if you’re a fan of Gothic/magic/historical fantasy.
Thank you again to NetGalley for giving me an ARC of this book.
