Anna's Reviews > A River of Golden Bones

Sometimes I forget that not everyone is chronically online and queer spaces because when I first saw this book cover I KNEW was queer, immediately. There was not a single doubt in my brain that this was a queer book yet apparently people did not get that memo because some of these reviews are just not it. It is in fact possible for a book to handle a fantasy world and gender identity. I know I know, it's wild.

Anyway, I really liked this one. It's a sleeping beauty retelling of sorts but with werewolves and a gender crisis. I do think that some of the world building was a little bit underdeveloped but I think that there is definitely room and space for that in the next book. I really liked our main character and the love interest and I'm very intrigued by the series. If it was a standalone, it would not work cuz there's just not enough description of the magic system or the map and the world system, but because it's a series I'm giving it the benefit of the doubt and hoping that we get a little bit more development in those areas in the next book.
