This book is MASSIVE! it may be in the top 5 largest books i have ever read. But the size is worth its weight in story telling.
This story follows Wren as she lives in a village and holds one of the most important positions: the bonekeeper. She guides the dead to their bones so that they may tell their stories and live on in bone and only she can hear them. He life is not easy and is filled with many different struggles that shape her into the headstrong woman she is.
This book is heavy in its world building but that is why I love it so much. The world is so detailed and so thought out that I can picture it all and have no questions that are unanswered. My only issue with the world building is that sometimes a memory enters the current scene in an abrupt way. At one moment, you are having a conversation and the next you have exposition explaining the lore or history. It can be a bit confusing but as I read on I understand that it is similar to the way Wren thinks.
This book could have ended at 2 major cliffhangers but it didnt. It kept going. Had it ended at either of those spots, I would have been devastated at not knowing what comes next but the ending it does have, has me screaming. I need to know what happens next, and I need it now.
If you want a very though out world building, deep lore and a group of wonderful and clueless men who follow around our heroine, then pick up this book June 7th!! Once this sorry gets going, there is no putting it down!
