A review by skconaghan
Nettle & Bone by T. Kingfisher

adventurous dark funny lighthearted medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? N/A
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? Yes

3.5

starts a bit dark and ugly 
turns morbid & hilarious
becomes increasingly absurd
but the plot moves along as the mismatched participants engage in their most serious quest
ends in relief & romance

short enough to enjoy in a reasonable time frame
