The Stone in the Skull Reviews

3.5
“I loved this series so hard. A bit hard to wrap your brain around in the very beginning, but once you fall into it….amazing. One of Bears best, IMHO.”
“Unsure if I’d recommend it based on the writing alone. Even though I put it down multiple times due to not being engaged, I found myself wanting to finish the story or thinking about the environment/imagery. The characters were likeable, unique, diverse. The ending did have me 😯 for one second, just one. :-) Anytime in a movie/book the title is said or referenced I kick my feet and giggle like a kid. Chapter 3, first paragraph, is about 1/4th of the page long and only 4 sentences. There are sentences in this book that are so ridiculously long you have to take notes to follow the sentence. I’m not keen on authors using niche vocab/extremely uncommon words, seemingly just to “elevate” the writing. The story is slow-paced, vocabulary is advanced, and the writing is dense. Story is very detailed, bordering on too-many-details-i-dont-really-care.”
