A review by micheala
City of Bones by Martha Wells
4.5
I'm a sucker for good worldbuilding, and City of Bones did a fantastic job creating an engaging post-apocotolyptic world. And normally, post-apocotolyptic stories aren't really my thing, but I suspect this one worked for me as it's post another fantastical world.
I found the both the society and the ecology to be well explained, giving the reader enough to understand the plot, while also still hinting at all the information that Wells is still holding onto.
The plot starts out more low stakes, but quickly ramps up. It did end up with a satisfactory conclusion, but because I loved the world so much, I did really wish that this had a sequel.
I listened to this on audio, and the narrator did a fantastic job. He was clear, and consistent with the voices that he gave all the characters.
For a book originally published in 1995 I think it holds up well and is worth a read if you enjoy high fantasy.
