Bone Crier's Moon
by Kathryn Purdie
I was very excited for this book. I had read the synopsis and realized that it was going to be in one of the upcoming fairyloot boxes (which i get btw) and I could not wait to get my hands on it.
I'm really happy to say I enjoyed this book as much as I was hoping I would. I have read better books this year and I do have one issue with the book which is why i gave it a 4 star review but i did really enjoy it.
I enjoyed the friends relationships and how much Sabine cares for Ailesse and vise versa. Bastien's group were very close knit and I like how different they all are from each other yet also have so much in common, if they'd only put all their hatred aside and realize that fact!
I found it interesting that I agreed with all the main characters. I completely understood where each character was coming from which made it so hard to choose a side. I couldn't, I wanted Ailesse to become who she always wanted to be but also be free, for Sabine to never have to kill and also find her courage, for Bastien to avenge his father but also for him to let go of his hatred. I was so conflicted but in such a good way. I was not expecting the plot to thicken between Sabine and Ailesse in the way that it did or for Ailesse's mother, I was not ready for her! I was pleasantly surprised by this story and how it went along. About half way through it stopped going how i though it would go and i was completely surprised by certain aspects of the story and I loved that!I liked the ending and cant wait for the second one.
Despite all this i do feel there was something that could have been done better, the main thing that reeled me in for this book was the romance. I was down for the slow burn, enemies to lovers romance between Ailesse and Bastien and it was my main attraction towards this book. It was great in the beginning and i was enjoying the hatred they felt for each other whilst not being able to deny they found each other attractive. Yet ....... it started to just jump right into them liking each other and I would have preferred a slower burn, there wasn't really much of a slow burn tbh and that's one of my favorite tropes so I was mildy disappointed with that. That why i rated it 4 and not 5 star, i still really enjoyed the book and look forward to ''Bone Criers Dawn''
