Review of "The Bone Doll's Twin" on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
So when you are sick of modern day top notch low quality fantasy books, that are all mainstream and repetitive and boring, you do what a girl got to do and you go back to read old fantasy titles.
When I first joined goodreads "The Bone Doll's Twin" was one of the first books recommended to me. I started the beginning but could not really get into it and put it aside, that was like 8 years ago.I never could get it out of my head. The idea of the book triggered me so hard that I came back to it finally.
Pro:
Actual interesting question and things to think about
Cool magic
Nice old school aesthetic
Good horror
Loved the characters and the dynamics
Contra:
Sloooooooow
Not much happens at all, and at some point there is a huge break in the story
Ending of the first book is disappointing
And although it is quite nice, it will take a while until I continue. I wanted more, but now I am pissed that the first book did not get farther.
