A review by thebiasedbibliophile
Sofi and the Bone Song by Adrienne Tooley

4.5

I listened to and thoroughly enjoyed the audiobook of Sofi and the Bone Song by Adrienne Tooley. The premise behind the story immediately drew me in. The worldbuilding in the novel was fantastic, and I loved how music was an intricate part of life in the world Tooley created, especially for the protagonist. 

Similarly, Sofi’s character development was phenomenal. I typically don’t read many books with child abuse or toxic relationships, but I appreciated that it helped explain Sofi’s behavior but didn’t take over the entire story. The way Sofi was able to form new, healthier relationships was heartwarming. 

Additionally, there was queer representation in the novel, which is always a great addition! Both Sofi and some supporting characters were LGBTQIA+, and the fact that queerness is normalized in the world is wonderful.

Finally, I thought the ending was very satisfying. I won’t give anything away, but everything that happened felt right. This book is a great standalone novel that will take you on an epic adventure and leave you content at the end!
