This was a good read but not great.
This started off strong but about halfway through it really began to drag for me.
I liked the plot and the characters. Especially the side characters.
The magic system needed a better explanation and more fleshed out in my opinion. I loved that Roark uses sing language to communicate!
The romance too felt like it needed further development. They went from dislike to indifference to head over heels in love with no real bonding or closeness actually taking place.I understand they were bonded souls but I still think they fell too quickly without ever really getting to know each other or building a relationship

Book reviews, but make it a ✨haiku✨ for Broken Souls and Bones by L.J. Andrews.
Scars reflecting stars
Tap me baby three more times
Love a sassy brute
.
This book felt a little on the slow side but the last 40 or so pages really made up for it! Plot twists that I didn't see coming because they were launched in succession and hit me like a semi truck? Sign me up! Was I saying WTF after I finished reading? Absof*ckinglutely. BSaB gave me whiplash for all the different emotions I felt and I love that.

This book has some enjoyable aspects but the magic system was too bloody and brutal for my taste. I did not enjoy the graphic gore and the rest of the story was highly predictable. My biggest issue was that there was very little buildup to the story that resulted in any meaningful resolution. Probably wouldn’t recommend to most audiences.

There were things I did like about this book, but I ultimately didn’t find myself caring much about any of the characters or being invested in any of the relationships. Both twists I’d predicted by about 30% of the way through, and a lot of the plot, especially the ending, didn’t seem well thought out to me. Why did they need to fight their way out of the city if Thane would be king now, knows who killed Tomas, knows his father was evil, and is their close personal friend? Could they not have just… waited like 10 minutes for him to be in charge and then had Lyra explain everything?
