Written by Sarah Beth Durst, The Bone Maker is the sequel book with no prequel. What about after the war is over? After the hero’s love has died and a wall is built so no Bone Makers can get to the field of fallen soldiers and their bones?
Well, Kreya found a way to bring him back, but she needs more bones.
This is a well written, enthralling novel. We get to see adventurers, 25 years past their prime, trying to rid the world of evil while also coming to terms with their own lives. And I loved this book. And I wish that I could read the story that happened 25 years ago, to experience these people grow into the team they are in this book.
And, boy, are they a team.
I really enjoyed that our main characters are so different from each other, and to see how much they really do care about one another. Jentt I think is a really great example of what partnership means. He stands behind her, though he tells her when he doesn’t agree with what she is doing.
I want a Jentt, pleaaasssseeee.
Zera is an amazing person who has to work through her own issues, but really shows how we are all always works in progress. Marso has gone crazy and has to find his own way back with the support of his family. Stran is just a lovable giant who wants to believe that he isn’t needed anymore other than at home, but willingly steps up to help his people, even if he doesn’t believe they need his help. They believe they do, so he goes.
If you are looking for fantasy with a lot of adventure and twists and turns, this is a great choice.
I did receive a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
