Book 2 of Curse Bearer
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Veronica Roth is being robbed. We should talking about her so much more because this series is spectacular! Instead people prejudge her because of Divergent (which was pretty good, but teen at the end of the day) and thus she flies under the radar even with brilliant grimdark fantasy novellas like this. The bone swords are sooo cool, and the ideas Roth has woven into these short stories are incredible.
Whats most unexpected for a rough, dark, bloody story like this is how much I love the ending, it’s absolutely adorable! So know that while you are crying, raging, and terrified throughout there is a tiny moment of light in it all. I make no promises 90% of things don’t go poorly, because they pretty much do. But Roth reminds us that even in sorrow, trauma, and death there can still be something to find that keeps us going.
Anyone who loves Anthony Ryan, Mark Lawrence, or even Brandon Sanderson should read this series! Start with book 1 (of course). I do hope we will see more in this unique world of bone swords, allegiances with blood sacrifices, and devotion unlike any other.
Please note: I received an eARC of this book from the publisher via NetGalley. This is an honest and unbiased review.
