The Bone Spindle by Leslie Vedder

2.0

This is another one that just didn't particularly stand out to me. I did at least like the character of Shane, and there wasn't anything specific wrong with this book. It just felt like there wasn't really tension or stakes, even when there was. They basically go on a quest for treasure and then that sort of goes sideways with some witch stuff and journey to awake a sleeping kingdom. The characters are cute in their jokes together, but again, not really any sense of tension or suspense for me. I ended up going through it faster than I normally read not out of enjoyment or craving the story, but out of wanting to finish it. I feel like the worldbuilding has all the bones of something incredible but it just felt casual to me. Again, I read audiobooks largely, so the narrator may have influenced this, not I'm not sure as I don't have an immediate comparison.
