Bone Crier's Moon by Kathryn Purdie
fast-paced
4.0
So that was definitely a cover buy, but I am really not disappointed; I had no expectations going into this and also no idea what it was about.
But I liked it; the world-building was fun, and the characters all felt complex (something a lot of books can't really do nowadays). The only thing I disliked a bit was the romance; it felt a bit bland, like there was no pining, and it was overall very instalovey (which I am not that much of a fan of), which is really not that great when it's supposed to be enemies to lovers.
Also, Aliesse kind of turned into a mushy type of situation as their relationship got more and more intense, and that's just stuff I hate.
And he was just kind of weird sometimes because if you plan revenge FOR YEARS and then suddenly the person you want to take that revenge on is hot and you are about to throw everything overboard,? Yeah, right. They also tried a somewhat love triangle type of thing, but yeah, no idea if that was intentional because they kinda made the third one a "bit" annoying.
But it was written in a cool way of nothing ever being black and white because from the beginning to the end, your perspective changes completely on who is the villain and who is the hero (and not just once), which was really cool to read.
