alexamichellepeters 's review for:

Bone Crier's Moon by Kathryn Purdie
2.0

Oof I wanted to like this, and the idea is so good but I really had to force myself to finish it.

I like the two main girl characters, Bastien felt flat and his companions were annoying and felt unnecessary most of the time.
The pacing is so off, they are here and then somewhere else and then back again and then it's been a week or a month for no reason specified?
Sabine thinks to herself she HAS to kill this one character to save her friend and then two paragraphs later she thinks to herself that killing them won't really do anything, and with no explanation why the change of heart.

I like the setup for the next book but I just don't think I can do this painful journey again. The trope feels similar to how the Ballad of Never After finished but that book was amazing all the way through.
