Read The Bone Sparrow by Zana Fraillon
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ or (8.14/10)

Characters - 8
Most of the characters were likable and understanding :)

Atmosphere - 8
There was good detail regarding the place the MC lived. The additional front and back inside covers of the book helped with the main setting. Though, there were some times that the change in settings lacked necessary detail.

Writing - 9
I thoroughly enjoyed the style of this book!

Plot - 8
I've listened and watched stories that had a similar plot to this book, but it was still really good and unique in its own way.

Intrigue - 8
The middle grade style made it a lot more intriguing than if it was YA or adult :)

Logic - 8
It was pretty logical, although some events didn't make sense.

Enjoyment - 8
Although it had quite a few sad moments, I loved the humor and jokes. Overall, it was a sweet book!

A book that proves that children can handle difficult issues. Important. Brutal. Soul-emptyingly sad.
