Chest Of Bone

Sometimes you’re reading a novel and you’re 30% through it and only then realize that you still don’t have a clue about what the book is about. That happened to me with Chest of Bone.

I expected something more of a fantasy novel, but it was more or less a murder mystery with some fantasy elements thrown into it. This is not necessarily a bad thing of course, as I certainly like my murder mysteries from time to time. However, the writing was also quite strange. I can’t really explain it but felt different, and I think it was one of the reasons why I couldn’t get into the story for a long time.

The story itself was quite interesting (mostly the part about the ‘exotic’ food) but the main ideas have been done before, a number of times. The jury is still out whether or not to continue with this series in the future.

Thanks to the publisher for providing me with a free copy of this book in exchange for an honest review!
