A review by st4r
Bone Gods by Caitlin Kittredge
4.0
And now for my crappy, short review for my own sake when looked upon in retrospect:
In short, my favorite part of this book was Pete's deal with Belial. It's nice to see Pete do something for which she would have shamed Jack. I know he did some pretty awkward things, but he has continually done these things FOR PETE'S SAKE. I'm growing weary of her righteous attitude and I want to see what she has to do to appease Belial.
My least favorite aspect of the book? So. Much. Change. Really, what hasn't changed in this book? Jack and Pete are both different. Their dynamic is different. Jack's goal is the same -- save Pete, be with Pete -- while Pete's goal is a bit more save-the-worldish. I am well aware that drama needs to occur between these two characters in order for plot progression, but there was just something amiss about the book. I don't know exactly what it was, however. I love reading the Black London series and I love Kittredge's writing style, but I just wasn't as pleased with this book as I was with the former two.
I'm looking forward to the next book, despite the fact that I am kind of angsty about pregnancy stories. I love Jack's voice!
