Broken Souls and Bones
by LJ Andrews
In this first book in a new series by bestselling author LJ Andrews, we follow Lyra who is torn from her quiet life and forced to use her magic for the King, under the watchful eye of Sentry Roark.
I found the pacing a little slow initially but it picked up around the second half of the book and then the revelations just kept on coming! There was a good blend of world building, character development and plot development (although I hope some of the secondary characters will be fleshed out more in the sequel). The main male character cannot speak but uses sign language to communicate, a concept I quite enjoyed, although I found it hard to visualise how it worked in situations where he was signing by touching another character without them actually looking at him, but that's probably just me overthinking it!
A recommended read for fans of dual POV romantasy with morally grey characters and Viking fantasy.
Thank you to NetGalley and Michael Joseph for providing me with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
