The Bone Spindle by Leslie Vedder
4.0
I really wanted to read this book like a year ago when I first discovered it, and I think I would have enjoyed it more had I read it then. It was very fast paced all the way through, though I sort of lost interest around halfway, probably because I kept pausing to read other books, which is a bad habit that I do not recommend. I definitely liked the beginning of the book, and I enjoyed the flashbacks even more than I did the actual story, which surprises me. I would read a whole book about Fi’s adventures in treasure hunting, and a whole book about Briar’s childhood.
As for the characters, some of their relationships felt a bit underdeveloped to me, but this is the first book in a trilogy so it makes sense. But nothing bad can be said about Briar Rose. He honestly carried the entire book, which says a lot since he wasn’t in it nearly as much as any other character. He reminds me a lot of Keefe Sencen from Keeper of the Lost Cities. I hear that he has a lot more page time in the second book, so needless to say I am excited.
I also for some reason really liked the paper witch. I hope he’s a more prominent character in the rest of the trilogy.
Overall, this story definitely has potential, and I’m excited to see where it goes from here!
