What a start! Love the little forest creatures! A great balance between how much of the world is introduced and how much weirdness they still leave unexplained.

Cute but a little hard to follow. There was a lot of "absolutes" that I needed explained especially for a first volume.

In my continuing effort to try to read some middle grade/older elementary books each year in order to better offer reading suggestions to that age crowd, I finally succumbed to pressure to read Bone. It was just as cute, fun, adventurous, and intriguing as it had been promised. I will be sure to share with many who enter my library’s doors.
But (you could feel that coming … right?), I did not love this enough to consume all 9 volumes and the prequel. My TBR list is vast and the TBR pile quite imposing. I have to get back in the habit of “it is okay to read only the first one so you are familiar with it.” By all means, share this book with your younger adventurerers! I’m just not going to devote the time to make sure they make it back across the valley!

How could anything so popular turn out to be NOT overrated? Hilarious! Smart! Awesome!

Bone is light and fun, with a few dark undertones. The artwork is great, with different characters drawn in fairly diverse ways. Overall, it's a quick, enjoyable read.

Reread: straight up did not remember Thorn looking like that. Every other character design seems much stronger

- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? No
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

I will die by this statement but the “Bone” series is my favourite book series. The art work, the intricate plot, the humour, the characters. If I had to read one series for the rest of my life it would be this
