The Bones of Ruin by Sarah Raughley
3.0

To be honest I contemplated going between a 2 star or a 3 star rating and decided to go with a 3 star reading after really thinking about it. I am on tour with Turn the Page Tours and I go to their Instagram a lot and look at their new tours and I signed up for this one because the cover is absolutely stunning. I’m a sucker for picking up books because of their covers. Anyway, then I read the synopsis and thought it really sounded interesting. I thought the premise was done well for the book and I really liked the mystery of Iris’ memories and her true identity. I liked the side characters with their powers. The biggest problem I had with this book was that I had a hard time connecting with the characters. Like I felt like they were there, but it was hard to see them more than one dimensional and be able to feel their emotions. It was as if there was a wall or a block and because of this, it made it really hard for me to want to pick up this book to read. I may read the sequel and we will see with time. Thank you to the publisher, netgalley, the author, and Turn the Page Tours for this opportunity.
