A review by aliceboule
The Bone Doll's Twin by Lynn Flewelling
5.0
I absolutely adored this book (and because of it I read the entire series before revieweing *bad Alice* ) so while this is under the Bone Doll's Twin book it goes for all of them.
I wasn't sure how I was going to feel about the whole girl becomes boy. But it worked. Lynn Flewelling made it work, and because she did, it was awesome.
Tobin/Tamir is quiet, serious, slightly odd with a tragic past. And though Ki helps Tobin laugh more, that past follows in the shape of Brother.
That Flewelling had the past become important, something to be worked through rather than forgotten, gave the characters life and colour.
Starting so young and giving the entire history of Tobin/Tamir let me see how the child grew into the destined Queen. I loved every moment of it.
*I can never find enough to say about books that I like* Take my word for it - this series is brilliant.
While the whole physical changing thing may take some time to get over, once you do, the characters, plot, world, will sweep you off your feet.
I want to read it again :3
