hmgauthier 's review for:
The Bone Houses
by Emily Lloyd-Jones
3.5-4 (I’m still not sure)
“I grew up thinking monsters could be slain.”
“Ah. And I grew up thinking people were the monsters.”
This book is tricky to rate and review. I’d you asked me in the first 150 pages I would have said it was slow and boring. But the last third was absolutely packed with amazing storytelling.
The characters had a lot of heart and soul, Ellis is by far my favorite. The theme of grieving and living with grief was just stunningly executed.
With all the talk of magic and fae it seemed to skimp out on that aspect. And again the pacing was not great. But god was it a beautiful story.
