Speaking from Among the Bones by Alan Bradley
adventurous
mysterious
slow-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? No
3.0
Unfortunately this narration makes it hard to follow the story: when the story is narrated I have to turn the volume up, but when the characters speak, OMG I almost turn deaf; and that singing… Definitely not for me lol
Still not sure whether to see this as a MG or YA book. Certain details seem to me to indicate it to be YA, but the tone in which the story is told, the way the characters speak, certainly give it more of a MG feel. The mysteries are interesting me less, but that ending! Even though I'm not completely surprised by it, it is definitely making me curious about the next book!
