librarianlayla 's review for:
The Jade Bones
by Lani Forbes
I received an eARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
3/3.5 stars.
*PLEASE READ OWN VOICES REVIEWS - THIS IS NOT ONE*
I am reviewing this book from the stand point of someone who enjoyed the first book, but as I am not a part of the culture that these books are based on, I cannot speak to any inaccuracies or misrepresentation.
I think this book wasn't quite as good as the first one, the main characters who I found quite interesting and compelling in the first book felt a little washed out in this novel. I did enjoy Yemenia's chapters a lot more, and I enjoyed seeing her character development. I just felt that there was something missing overall from the story, I didn't find myself as in love as I was in the first one.
It does have action, suspense, love and betrayal but I just found that it needed a bit more work on the depth of the characters and their interactions with one another.
3/3.5 stars.
