🗡 Broken Souls and Bones by L J Andrews Book review 🗡

🐺 I got this amazing Fairyloot Edition of this book. I love the endpapers so much 🐺

You would love this book if you like: 
⭐️ Viking Inspired Fantasy Romance 
⭐️ Bodyguard Trope
⭐️ Blood, Bone and Soul Magic
⭐️ Dual POV
⭐️ Non speaking MMC (sign language)

My final rating is 3.5⭐️
It takes a 3🌶 rating for me (explicit scenes and teasing. A lot of desire in general)

🐺

This is one of the very few books I think really needed a glossary at the start of the book. There is too much information and new concepts in very little time that left me pretty confused. Overtime I understood most, but there were still a few things that I did not really fully grasp even at the end of the book. 

Now this is technically an enemies to lovers but the enemies part is over pretty soon at least for our FMC, Lyra. 
Its a little complicated to explain. But I wished the enemies part was a little longer. 
Then it becomes more of a bodyguard trope that I did enjoy pretty much. 

This plays a bit into the insta lust trope but it is explained at the end why. I still enjoyed the romance. And their banter was a bit fun. 

While I figured out the plot twist pretty early it was still enjoyable and pretty interesting and original. It was the first time I have ever read something similar. (Still I wish it could have been explained a bit better but I guess that may happen in the next books) 

Overall the book was enjoyable but I felt it was a missing a little something to make it really good for me.
