Reviews for Bones of Empire

[vloxy · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

Very good story but it kind of leaves opened questions as it rapidly leaves the main direction of the novel halfway through and never goes back to address them. Why devote half a book to a theme and then ignore it. Also, the final battle happened a bit too quick and easy. Seriously, after devoting two novels to how violent the main antagonist was? It was still a good read though and a lot of fun.
