Epic Fantasy, Action Adventure
A thrilling conclusion to a trilogy that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
My Rating for Bone War: 4.5 Stars
For the three fates, watching over the world in their sacred
garden, they control all life and maintain balance in the world. But that
balance is shattered when an evil Fae queen kidnaps one of the fates, placing
every being in jeopardy. They ask Danr, the half human/half troll to help
rescue their sister and defeat the fae queen before the tree tips fully and the
world as they now it, even their lives are gone in a blink.
In order to rescue the missing fate, Danr must find the Bone
Sword. But as he and Aisa travel to find the sword, their other companions are
forced to stay behind and figure out who is making familiar unknown creatures.
With their future on the line, Danr, Aisa and their friends are racing against
the clock because if the tree tips, they and their world will cease to
exist…forever.
BONE WAR is the final book in the Books of Blood and
Iron series and is totally one I couldn’t put down. I am so glad I took a
chance on this series and this new to me author. I fell in love with his world
building and the characters were so unique and different. This author definitely
turns on its head the usual suspects-fae, goblins, trolls, etc- and makes them
fresh and unique. I loved how the author portrays Danr as just wanting to be
normal yet his destiny isn’t going to be denied. The scenes between Danr, Aisa
and their friends are at times light and playful and other times, serious and
in depth. The author does an amazing job in capturing the characters
vulnerabilities and hidden depths. He does an amazing job in creating
characters that grow with each book, showing the reader more of their
personality even as they face against adversity. You just can not help but fall
in love with them. Add in a few familiar faces we met in the past two books
that show up to move the story along well you get a sense that this time the
journey is about to get rougher for this merry band of friends.
This is the final book in the trilogy and it definitely amps
up the adventure these characters take. We met the fates in the past two books
and there is a lot going on in BONE WAR that if you didn’t read book one,
The Iron Axe, or book two, Blood Storm, you might be a tad confused over some
mentions from the past adventures these characters took. I highly recommend
reading the trilogy in order so you can get the full back story on all the
characters and their adventures before this final book. I loved how the author
takes something old and tired and makes it fresh and new for readers to enjoy.
If you enjoy a new take on fae, trolls, goblins and other fantasy creatures,
then you will enjoy this highly entertaining trilogy about a half troll/half
human boy that finds that the simple life he wants isn’t what is in store for
him or his friends. I look forward to seeing where this author goes next after
this thrilling conclusion to the Books of Blood and Iron.
