Bonesmith by Nicki Pau Preto

5.0

I would like to thank the publisher and Netgalley for the ARC of this book in exchange for a review. All thoughts and opinions are my own. 

So, let me start off with saying this book was good. Really good. The story, the characters, THE PLOTTWISTS, everything. 

Our main character is Wren, a bonesmith, as alluded to by the title. She's portrayed as a rule breaker from the start, and it works so well. The side characters are well thought out, and have their own motivations and backstories that are revealed more throughout the story. AND THE VILLAIN. Man, I did not see that coming. 

The story is engaging from the start, even though it changes settings quickly. That new setting, however, is even more interesting than the one originally set up, and manages to sweep you into the story immediately. We follow Wren through the lands past the Breach in order to try and save the kidnapped prince, and there we meet more and more of the Undead. These Undead are creepy, I tell you! 

Overall, this story was so engaging, and I could not see any of the plottwists coming. The book had me hooked until the very last page, and I already cannot wait for the sequel!
