A review by shelflife
A Book of Bones by John Connolly
4.0
More like 3 1/2
This is my favorite series and it’s been for quite awhile. Book 17 brings all the elements of this particular story arc full circle and leaves you with a good reveal on the very last page!
Why not my usual 5 stars? Well the writing is wonderful as usual and the underlying creep is still settled in between the pages, but the story left Charlie, Louis and Angel our far too long between chapters. They are a huge part of my positive reading experience and although I understand the author needs to explain many elements, it need not have taken so long to get there. Too many external characters that I felt didn’t need to be there. Some parts were just boring.
I feel the overall book was good just not great. I look forward as always to the next book.
