With each passing volume, Bone grows more and more brilliant. We learn about new players and another layer of depth and backstory in this volume, showing again that Smith is acutely aware that all story is really the slow unveiling of backstory and how that transforms the characters through changes of mind in heart.
In this one, we confront the lie of nihilism — that power is all that matters — with the clean and clear virtue ethics of childhood. Friendship and trust and love win the day here, but precisely because they’re more substantial than power.
Great work. Looking forward to 5.

This is another book that I just felt like fell short of the first three. I still enjoyed the read (and I like the new characters that we meet), but it almost felt like a filler episode. I was so excited to get my questions and that’s not what this book did. Don’t get me wrong, still very enjoyable and worth the read, just not what I was hoping would be in this book. On to the next!

- This volume wasn't as good, but it was still fun.
- Awww! Bartley!
- The beginning is hilarious and awesome!
- The whole book focuses on Fone and Smiley. I want to know more about Phoney, Thorn, Gran'ma Ben, and the others.
- The ending is sad.
- I hope Rock Jaw has a larger role to play. It would be weird for a new character to get his own volume, but all he does is chase the main characters around.

3,5/5, dit volume voelt een beetje als een verbindend deel.
