mairelon 's review for:
Bone Crier's Moon
by Kathryn Purdie
Woo got an ARC! Still have 1.5 to go before I can get to it but I'm pumped!
Edit 13.08.19: breathtaking tbh. RTC.
Edit 16.08.19: I don't want to post my new review too early so have this summary I put together:
They say Bone Criers can be found - breathtaking in white - playing their bone-flute song on the night of the full moon. They are the downfall of any man who witness them for surely they will not be able to resist their siren song and will die in the arms of a Bone Crier. Bastion's own father was lost to him at the hands and song of a Bone Crier. Since that long past moon-lit night, Bastion has sworn to find and hunt down the women in white so no other child loses their father. And so he waits on the bridge on a moonlit night, as the legends dictate, for the creature to appear.
Ailesse, heir to the Bone Crier's matriarch, is preparing for her right of passage. The Bone Crier's sacred duty can only be undertaken after a great sacrifice - the luring and murder of their amouré - their soulmate. Once a Bone Crier and her amouré complete the ritual dance under moonlight, the Crier has a year to kill him or else they are both taken by the Gods. Always needing prove herself to her clan, Ailesse is never one to do things half way. Of course she's going to pick a bridge in full view from the city. And of course the Gods have chosen a handsome yet troubled young man with a vendetta against the creatures who murdered his father. Things get...complicated. Meanwhile Ailesse's young partner in crime - Sabine - tries to reconcile her distaste for killing with her legacy as a Bone Crier. For the Bone Crier's solemn duty is one of sacrifice and blood, and Sabine has no taste for blood.
I assure you this lengthy summary was needed and wasn't in an effort to relive the book high Bone Crier's Moon gave me.
