I’m still reading Bone with my friend Allie. I have the one gigantic volume edition, which is less travel friendly but in my opinion better as I am a huge fan of keeping all related writings together in one binding. Most nights we only read a chapter, although for the past month or so we’ve averaged maybe two chapters a week. Once we finish a book (nine in all), I post a fictional travel writing review for the book. I have read the entire volume before, so I’ll try my best to keep spoilers out of the reviews (or at least give fair warnings when I spill the beans). | |

The premise: The fifth book shows the first ever voluntarily split between the cousins that leaves Phoney alone. The book also only focuses on Smiley and Fone’s trek to the Eastern Mountain to lead a rat creature cub back to its people. Travel Angle: Smiley, who has been Phoney’s accomplice in the past, leaves Phoney midscam to help Fone return a rat creature cub to Eastern Mountain. While at the mountain they are confronted with Roque Ja, gigantic mountain lion, who captures them with the intent to turn them over to the Hooded One. In an escape attempt they run through an ancient rat creature temple, presumably built for the Lord of the Locusts. What the book lacks in actual travel it makes up for with more in-depth cultural details of the Rat Creature culture which had previously been one dimensional. Travel Score: |
