Happy Thursday book pals! This book needs no introduction since it’s been one of this year’s biggest releases. Of course, there’s been the inevitable comparison between Bury Our Bones in the Midnight Soil and The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue. Do they have the same vibe? Maybe a little. I think the difference is Addie worked to keep her humanity in spite of her loneliness, while Sabine lost hers all together. I’ve seen some mixed reviews of Bury Our Bones. I really enjoyed it. Did I love it like I loved Addie LaRue? No, but that’s ok. Bones pulled me right in. Schwab’s writing is beautiful and atmospheric. The characters were great. I loved the shifting timeline and how it all came crashing together at the end. The narration by Julia Whelan, Marisa Calin, and Katie Leung was excellent. This is a big sweeping story that spans generations and pulls the reader along for the ride.
I would really love a sequel to find out how Alice copes with being a vampire. Unlike Sabine and Lottie, Alice wasn’t desperate to escape a marriage or change her life. What book do you think needs a sequel because you want to know what happens to a character beyond the original story?
