A review by ashleysbookthoughts
The Backbone of the World by Stephen Graham Jones

dark mysterious tense medium-paced

5.0

I loved this one! Jones sets the scene so well. We immediately feel Millie’s sadness and desperation. I understood her need to tackle a project and go to war with the prairie dogs The tension builds slowly, with increasing unease and questioning who Frog really is. Jones drops hints, but the questions aren’t completely answered until the extremely satisfying end.
