A review by readerrachelle
Breath and Bone by Carol Berg
4.0
Breath and Bone is a satisfying ending to the storyline begun in Flesh and Spirit. The conclusion left all of the necessary strings tied up but also left room to return to the world and these characters should the author wish too. I would live to read more about this world and the adventures following the epilogue of Breath and Bone.
I enjoyed this duology immensely. I found the magic system deeply intriguing, the character development to be realistically paced as well as relatable and the writing to be unusual and captivating.
Several other reviews I read before starting Breath and Bone said they felt as though this was just part two of Flesh and Spirit. While I can understand those feelings, the two books were quite distinct for me. Flesh and Spirit was the main character discovering who he is as a human being,finding the true expression of his personality and cementing it. Breath and Bone focused on the journey the character took with his magic, learning it's subtle nuances and coming to terms with the way his magic effects him and the people and land around him.
Truly a wonderful series for fantasy lovers and I would highly recommend it for most adult readers interested in fantasy and magic... But who doesn't love a bit of magic now and then?
This is not a series for anyone under the age of fifteen as it deals with some very adult themes such as addiction.
