Book Review: These Eternal Bones

 

Her- Stowing away on the nearest vessel wasn’t the best plan when I left everything I’d ever known in the middle of the night. Promising the captain coin I did not possess only drove the nail deeper into my coffin. The moment a storm knocks us off course, damaging the ship, I run. But There’s more than meets the eye in the foggy town of Port Clyde, its onyx lighthouse standing like a beacon, or a warning.

Him- Many things can be said about eternity. Soul binding love squandered life and life again by elephantine heartache. So I wait, trapped in this godforsaken town by a long dead coven. I wait, unable to follow, unable to bleed every corner of the earth in search of her. This time when she finds her way back. I will keep her safe, alive, mine, even if she hates me. But what a beautifully gilded cage it will be.


My Review
As soon as I met Elric, I felt drawn to him. I liked him right away. Molly, I liked too but she more grew on me as the story progressed. I say her go through quite the transformation from who she was at the beginning of the story to who she was at the end. 

Which, I will say that the first half of the story is good, but the second half is the strongest. It is what really drew me in and kept my attention. Molly and Elric's story is for the ages. 

I loved the world building that the author created for this book. It is rich and vivid. It definitely gave me the gothic vibes. Also, this book really read like a romantasy. I know it is a romantasy but there are some that don't really hit the mark. With a romantasy, it is all about the world building/storyline.
