Dragon Bones by Patricia Briggs
4.0
I don't think its fair for Patricia Briggs to write a book like this and not have the story be 5 bagillion pages.
I kept looking down at the little marker at the bottom of my Ibook page, and seeing it slowly approaching the finish line filled me with despair.
It's not fair that I was only able to follow Ward and Oreg for 295 pages - it makes no sense to me. This book obviously belongs with the Wheel of Time genres: long and eloquent and beautiful.
This world that Briggs writes about is dark, dark, dark. A father beats his child and renders him slow, child rape, torture, sacrifice, war. And through that darkness is the shining beauty of understanding that this book won't lie to you.
I am tired of reading books where everything is lovey dovey, hearts and cushiony battles. Dragon Bones is so far away from that category I can't even...
read this. Now.
