I liked this story, I really did.The Bone Knife was interesting, intriguing and kept me wondering what would happen next throughout the whole of it. The pace of and way Intisar tells the story helped keep this air of mystery and darkness around the characters, especially around the unexpected fairy visitor, Genno Stonemane.I also liked Rae. She is strong and independent even when she's being "held back" by a metaphorical prison. And no, I'm not referring to her deformed foot. Although, it's quite clear Rae is as strong as they come despite her physical handicap, she is imprisoned in a cage of her own making. I think this might get her in trouble in the future because even though she's not confident about some things, she is overly confident those things will keep her safe. I won't say more because I might spoil the story, but you'll see what I'm referring to when you read it.I also like Stonemane, he was very mysterious. He just had that thoughtful-predator like presence that I'll admit I love in my book "men". It's not just because he's a faerie. I've read other fairie books which kind of fall flat on how to bring out those fae traits in their characters. So, I think the author did a good job at depicting one of the sides of the fae. I liked what little I saw of all other the characters. They each had their own quirks, like Bean being easily excitable.My only real complaint with this story is that it's too short, but that won't be a problem much longer since we'll be reading more about Rae in "The Theft of Sunlight" which I hope comes out sometime in 2013. P.S.: I'm hoping Stonemane is also part of that story. *wink** I received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
