Dragon Bones by Patricia Briggs
3.0
Hm. It was okay, I think, but I didn't love it. A 3.5, so I'm waffling on where to put this.
It was interesting to read an early Patricia Briggs book and see how it's influenced her more recent Mercy Thompson books (but not the early ones!), which have a lot of stuff I don't like - such as needing to change points of view for a few chapters to explain what's going on in the rest of the world.
There were some side plots that were introduced quickly and resolved quickly at the end, which kind of made me wonder why they were introduced. I didn't fully buy Ward's acting shtick.
The relationship between all the Hurogs was interesting, but a little too left in the background.
Hm.
