rileyryan 's review for:
Bone Crier's Moon
by Kathryn Purdie
This was such an entrancing read!
While reading this I did find myself comparing it to Serpent & Dove. While there are similar elements, I enjoyed this book much more.
The world of the Lesseurs and Ferriers was much more intriguing and unique to me. Also, as someone who doesn’t know much French, I found that it’s use in this book was much easier for me to follow. I didn’t find myself pausing to look words up, either they were eventually explained or I could pick up their meaning through context which kept me much more involved in the story.
Normally I do not enjoy switching POV throughout the story but I think the author does it well here. If this is something holding you back from reading this book please reconsider!
Overall, I think the friendship between Ailesse and Sabine was very well written and I am excited to learn more about them. I do think the romance between Bastien and Ailesse was a bit lacking and that the enemies to lovers could’ve been drawn out more, with more time given to their relationship.
All in all I found this book really atmospheric, a great pick for fall/halloween! Looking forward to reading the next installment!
