this was a ride!
i went into this book basically not knowing what i would get myself into, and in some ways i think that was a benefit for me and my reading experience.
in this story we follow three different POVs, two bone criers and a “normal” human boy.
i really loved the story of the two girls, their friendship and willingness to dk what they needed to help the other be safe and happy.
bastien - the third POV- was a good one as well. first introduced as a boy looking for revenge for the death of his father, he soon learns there is so much more going on than he ever expected.
for the most parts i really enjoyed how and where the plot of this story went.
it kept up a good pace that kept me turning pages, had a good amount of surprises and even a few shocking moments.
i personally didn’t love the ending overly much but i do want to know where it’s going from that point on and how the story will end overall.
the only thing i wish would be done a bit different would be that i would have loved to get a bit lore of what exactly a bone crier is. are they human with a special something? something more? can anyone technically become a bone crier if they learn how to do that? is it only specific bloodlines, if so why?
also why can’t bone criers have more then one kid if their family’s are dwindling and need more members?
let’s just say that the entire magical thing in this book is not really explained enough for me to have an actual understand of the whys and hows as much as i would like to.
it’s defiantly an action filled adventure to read through this book.
i would recommend it for anyone enjoyed strong women, a bit of outside the system characters, revenge and unexpected moments.
