The Bone Doll's Twin by Lynn Flewelling
4.0
Summer-reading book review #19: "The Bone Doll's Twin" by Lynn Flewelling.... The first book in a dark fantasy trilogy. I liked this, but didn't love it the way I did the author's Nightrunner series. The central idea is compelling and distinctive, and there are likable characters that I cared about it. Yet parts of this felt overly drawn-out to me, plus the section set at court felt overly familiar from other stories. My favorite aspect was the friendship between Ki and Tobin.
7/2/2016: I have just finished re-reading "The Bone Doll's Twin." The book is divided into three parts, and I found Part One the least compelling. As on my first reading, I very much liked the friendship between Ki and Tobin. This time around, I also particularly liked the character of Tharin. A fine book. I'm looking forward to re-reading "The Hidden Warrior" and then allowing myself to read "The Oracle's Queen" for the first time. (I have been saving up "The Oracle's Queen" as it is the only book by Lynn Flewelling that I haven't yet read.)
