Bone Crier's Moon

By: Kathryn Purdie

Narrated by: Fiona Hardingham, Alex Wyndham, Billie Fulford-Brown

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathryn Purdie comes a high-stakes fantasy duology flush with doomed romance and macabre magic, perfect for fans of Stephanie Garber and Roshani Chokshi.

Bone Criers are the last descendants of an ancient famille charged with using the magic they draw from animal bones to shepherd the dead into the afterlife—lest they drain the light from the living.

Ailesse has been prepared since birth to become their matriarch, but first she must complete her rite of passage: to kill the boy she’s destined to love.

Bastien’s father was slain by a Bone Crier and he’s been seeking revenge ever since. Now his vengeance must wait, as Ailesse’s ritual has begun and their fates are entwined—in life and in death.

Creative ideas, boring execution

So overall the book was ok. I really like the concept of the book and appreciate the creativity. But it got very boring. I felt like the same things were happening but in different ways the entire book. It felt like it was missing something. Seems like there will be a sequel, I don't think I'll be listening to it.

Could not finish

The concept is good and the story has potential but each chapter felt repetitive! Same questioning thoughts, same pettiness in characters. I made it almost through the book but just couldn’t finish it. I rarely write bad reviews but this book should have been edited better!

What a beautiful love story...

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I agree with everyone else that the reader for Bastian is really terrible.. not in line with the character he was trying to portray. But once you get past this the story really takes off! It digs into the core of bonds of the main characters and makes you question their relationships... How important the love of a mother, a significant other, and a best friend are to the Ailesse.m..and which is more important! Love, love, loved the concept of grace bones and the power given for the accomplishment. If only! Cant wait to read the next one!

Great Story

I loved it!!! I thought it was a great story for a YA novel, and I feel like it jumped right into the story and took off. The narration was a little hard to get use to in the beginning, but once I got used to it, I really enjoyed it. There were some iffy parts to the narration, but not enough to really bother me. I'm excited about the next book.

It was okay at best.

The story was alright. I had a big issue getting over the males acting. It was like every sentence was told as a question. There were also times when the women's readings would have a weird section that I assume was an edit or reread, and it was edited in poorly.
