The Book of Bones by Krishnarjun Bhattacharya
"The Book of Bones" is a compelling dark fantasy that will captivate you from beginning to end. From the start to the last page, the book is a singular experience, unfolding like a gloomy fairy tale.
The story revolves around Konstantin, who chooses to set out on a quest to hunt a mysterious, horrific beast known only as the Eater and save his two older brothers who got lost on the same mission. His purpose is to save his family's terrible curse and get the crown.
His quest takes him to a place in the forest and hence makes him a forest walker. This fantasy world is filled with mythical monsters and magic. He was provided with a cloak and food by his parents to make his journey a bit easy. He knew that his path would not be easy, and on the way he was guided by the varied magical creatures about his journey and path.
It is intriguing to read the path he chooses and how he gets rid of the curse, grabs the crown and saves his brothers. Without giving away too much, the book tells the story of his adventure across the magical country and his encounters with both enemies and allies. Will Konstantin's quest be successful?
Each of the intriguing characters has a unique motivation and weakness that contributes to the story's depth. It has a sense of mystery because of the poetic wording. The story may require some time to acclimatise to the diverse voices narrating it, as it unfolds gradually. The story's captivating plot and gloomy setting, which perfectly capture the dread and eerie mood, are its strongest points.
In addition to being poetic, the story portrays terror. It's the kind of narrative that makes you read more slowly in order to relish the dread—moonlight, crickets chirping, the hunt, and the breathless silence.
All things considered, fantasy readers will find "The Book of Bones" to be an engaging read.
