Nettle and Bone by T. Kingfisher

4.75

adventurous dark funny fast-paced

Plot or Character Driven: Plot

Strong character development: Complicated

Loveable characters: Yes

Diverse cast of characters: No

Flaws of characters a main focus: Complicated

This book hooked me immediately. The story itself is simple but interesting and had me constantly excited to see what happened next. I do wish that we would have seen more focus on

the three impossible tasks, specifically the events leading to the making of bonedog

I felt like the story really skimmed over that part, which had potential for some really great world-building. I think leaving it out probably helped keep the story so fast paced, but I definitely feel like the story could have gone into more detail with world-building, but I suppose that leaving some things a mystery kept us grounded in the MC's perspective. It feels very in character for her to stay in the dark about how the world works.
