Beastly Bones
by William Ritter
3.5
Dear Mr. Jackaby,
Please marry me.
xoxo Gio.
Beastly bones is a good sequel.
In terms of plot Beastly bones is, in my opinion, better than Jackaby, because the mystery itself is more complex and less predictable.
I missed Jackaby's wondrous house, because the new setting wasn't as charming (of course, how could it be) but other than that I'm quite satisfied with this sequel. Jackaby himself is as glorious as always and Abigail's character development and progress is impressive. She's the best kind of female character: a sharp, witty woman who doesn't need nor want someome to keep her safe. I really like her.
However, the star of this show is and will always be for me, Jackaby himself. He's still insensitive and rude, but so sharp and clueless at the same time that it is impossible not to love him. So, while I liked Abigail and the fact that she was much more relevant plot wise, I missed him a bit. If I had to complain about something that would be it: more Jackaby is required in the next one.
Bonus points for the lack of romance. I'm not completely satisfied with the ship, even though it is kind of cute, and because of this I'm glad that it does not have much space in this story.
