Review:

The Road of Bones is an epic fantasy that had me on the edge of my seat. While it's a big book you won't notice as you speed through this addictive and compelling page turner.

 

Silla is on the run and her only clue to safety is a letter to her father about safe arrangements in a far away city. Determined to reach her destination Silla sneaks into the wagon of the fierce Blood Axe Crew where she meets a diverse and motley group of warriors. As they become entwined they traverse the dangerous road of bones where fierce warriors and vicious creatures lie in wait.

 

Silla is a lovable female lead despite her myriad of mistakes and lies that put others at risk, somehow you still find yourself rooting for her. I became so invested in her story I found myself finishing the last 100 pages at work desperate to find out what happens to her and the rest of the Blood Axe Crew.

 

This novel has everything: perfect pace, an addictive romance, an engrossing adventure, a fierce heroine, and even a mystery as an evasive killer looms in the horizon striking various regions. If I could I would give this book 6 stars. It's the best thing I've read this year by far and if you have even a passing interest in fantasy with a female main character you need to rush to the store to grab a copy of The Road of Bones.
