Reynita ★ The Night Reader ★'s Reviews > The Bone Season

What a pleasant surprise! Frankly speaking, I was pretty hesitant when I started reading this book. It was mostly because of the pages of the book. Lol. It’s thick and thick books usually make me nervous. However, as I delved into this book, it was very fascinating.

I still do not understand about the map though and when the characters talked about “dial”, I honestly did not understand even though I tried to comprehend the map, but it’s just puzzling. Nevertheless, I understood the plot. I didn’t have any expectation reading the book. I didn’t even know what the book was about. It’s probably why I enjoyed it. It was such a surprise read! The plot was original. Unlike anything I have ever read before. Truly fascinating. The author is brilliant to come up with such ideas and plot.

As much as I liked reading the plot, I didn’t really develop any attachment toward the characters. It’s not that they were boring. In fact, they were unique and their internal thoughts were also complex. But, I somehow didn’t fully “connect” with them. Maybe it’s because I read it for too long? Nevertheless, the characters were not annoying and dull.

If you haven’t read this book, I recommend you to read it. It was a slow-paced book. But it was worth it. The plot was unique and original.
