headertime1981 's review for:

A Curse Carved in Bone by Danielle L. Jensen

3.75

adventurous challenging dark mysterious tense medium-paced

---

I confess the first hundred and fifty pages almost lost me. Very little actually happened other than bickering and posturing, and considering I found all the characters in the last book vibrant and exciting, I was losing interest fast. Then two plot twists that literally turned the entire story upside down righted things, and the story propelled forward, giving Freya and Bjorn the depth they deserved. I like Danielle Jensen's stories and worlds, but this does seem to happen with her second books and characters. I'll sacrifice the plot for character development any day, but not the character for the plot. Overall, a good read.
