SYNOPSIS

In “Eyes of the Storm,” book three in the epic BONE series, Gran’ma Ben reveals long-kept secrets about Thorn’s royal heritage and the ancient enmities that may lead to war.

In “Eyes of the Storm,” volume three of the nine-book BONE saga, Lucius, Smiley, and Phoney survive an attack by the rat creatures and return safely to Lucius’ tavern in Barrelhaven. Phoney, desperate to win a bet with Lucius, stokes the townspeople’s fear of dragons and boasts that he is a professional dragonslayer. Back at the farm, Fone Bone and Thorn are troubled by strange dreams, and Gran’ma Ben’s reaction to them is stranger still: She reveals long-kept secrets and warns of great danger. Thorn, Fone Bone, and Gran’ma Ben may have to leave the farm forever.

REVIEW

Hated Phoney in this one. I always dislike him, but I hated him in this one especially.

I was happy for grandma Ben to finally reveal information about Thorn & the valley (although it wasn’t much of a surprise, since a lot of it was in the prequel) It feels good for things to get more serious. Sometimes the heavy text makes it hard to absorb everything at once, especially when it comes to history or worldbuilding details.

I loved the red dragon, his timing is always comical. I loved Ted. I hope nothing bad ever happens to either of them.

The cover on this one really bothers me because Thorn looks so strange, not like herself.
