eve_reads 's review for:

The Bone Houses by Emily Lloyd-Jones
3.0
adventurous dark emotional hopeful inspiring mysterious sad medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Overall Thoughts:
⁕ This is not your typical zombie book. I love, love, love how Lloyd-Jones uses the undead to explore themes of grief and loss in a really unique way.

⁕ I wish that this was a duology instead of a standalone. I think the story would have benefited from more time with the characters and a greater deep dive into the welsh lore.

⁕ Unpopular opinion: I did not like the goat. Sure, it was cute at first, but it kept acting as a plot device to save the main characters and it got repetitive.
