The Bards of Bone Plain by Patricia A. McKillip

3.0

When Phelan Cle chooses to write about Bone Plain-- a metaphor and a cautionary tale for poets, he expected it to easily be his pass out of the school on the hill. But as strange old relics are revealed through archeological digs, and a mysterious bard inserts himself in the city of Caerau, almost instigating the next most anticipated Bardic competitions through what can only be magic, Phelan begins to question the streams of historical lines that brought about the legend of Bone Plain.

This book took AGES for me to finish! I know I was singing praises about McKillip (and I still adore her stories), but I don't think I liked this one very much. To read the rest of the review, visit A Reading Kabocha @ http://areadingkabocha.blogspot.com
