The Bone Maker by Sarah Beth Durst is a stand-alone novel diving into what happens after the young heroes save the day. We meet our heroes twenty-five years later. Kreya is a hermit except when she resurrects her husband, Jentt who died in the original battle. To fully resurrect her husband, she needs to go back to the field for some bones. Too bad going back leads to a terrible discovery, that her husband is not the only one resurrected.
Pick this book up. Seriously Durst creates intriguing and new worlds. The world was pretty fleshed out for being one book. Yes, the beginning is confusing, but that comes with building a new world. The heroes all had flaws and were still endearing. The plot was slightly predictable but when you’re reading this it is not about the plot, it’s about the characters and their relationships to each other. I had a hard time putting this book down because it was mostly fast pace and a still fun.
4.5 stars for an intriguing new world, I would have like a little bit of a twist, but I just enjoyed this book. Thank you to NetGalley, Avon and Harper Voyage, and Sarah Beth Durst for an ARC. This was an honest review.
