Spells of Iron & Bone

It was okay...



The approach to magic, with the use of the deck, is very unique and the mythology that Ms. Piper has created is intriguing. But for me, the plotline was slow and an afterthought. She took so much of her time explaining this world that she forgot about character development and moving things forward. Yes, this is the first book and laying the groundwork needed to happen. But... I didn't feel connected to any of the guys or their mission. I didn't feel like I had a stake in it. I liked Stevie and felt for her to a point. It's the connection I am missing. Connecting with the guys in RH's is very easy for me. So the fact that that was missing just emphasizes the lack of development.

I will continue with this series. But I will be going through the audio vertions to ensure that I can push past the slow progress. Heres hoping it picks up. There is so much potential.
