Rapid Reviews - Eleven List Inspired Reviews

For these reviews I thank Steve Lieber of Mercury Studios for starting the meme, and the King County Library System for its excellent collection of books and ease with which they can be checked out. And lastly, I also thank TangognaT for compiling the list of elevens into one big list for everyone to enjoy and learn from.

Bone Volume Four: The Dragonslayer: Ok, I didn't see the end coming, where Phoney gets exactly what he doesn't want to get. On the other hand, it was a pretty cool way to end the book. And at least the villagers were aware there was danger in their valley, even if they were looking in entirely the wrong direction. Another fun volume. I'm certainly more curious about how this will end now.

Bone Volume Five: Rockjaw, Master of the Eastern Border: A nice move back from the "main" action featuring Thorn to some side action in which we get more of Fone Bone and Smiley. We also get more information into what is facing our heroes, even if we don't really understand it, and we get a new player in the action with a fun name. I'm really enjoying this series.

Bone Volume Six: Old Man's Cave: That was the omen? Oh, this story just gets better and better. While this one was scattered in parts, it ended up holding together very well. Now I just wonder what else is left, as it seems like the whole story has been told. Are there any hanging plot threads? I'm not sure... maybe I ought to read the next book.
