I have just finished re-reading "The Bone Doll's Twin," the first book in a dark fantasy trilogy. The central idea is compelling and distinctive, and the characters are very likable, but I didn't love this book as much as the author's Nightrunner series. The start of the book didn't hook me, and it took more than fifty pages before I was caught up in the story. As on my first reading, I loved the friendship between Ki and Tobin, both of whom are highly likable. However it is past page 200 before Ki enters the story. A good book, but not, for me, a wonderful one.

I'm looking forward to re-reading "The Hidden Warrior" and then allowing myself to read "The Oracle's Queen" for the first time. (I have been saving up "The Oracle's Queen" as it is the only book by Lynn Flewelling that I haven't yet read.)

The Bone Doll Twin Tamir Trilogy Book 1 Lynn Flewelling John Jude Palencar 9780553577235 Books Reviews

A very solid, entertaining high fantasy read. Excellent writing. The story is plot-driven, rather than character-driven, though the characters are compelling. In fact, I wish the author had given us more of the latter, which would've taken the story from good to great. I would have loved it if Ms. Flewelling had spent more time exploring character development and the arc and emotions behind the developing relationship between the two MC's. There's a lot of potential for greater depth of emotion there, though perhaps plot-driven fantasy was more the thing back in the late '90s, early '00s. It left me hankering for more, which is a sign of good writing.

I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys sword-and-sorcery fantasy. Very well-written and entertaining.
I loved this book, but I must admit I would never have finished it if a friend hadn't recommended it to me. I recalled as I struggled through the first few chapters that she had told me it starts slow. It does,but the story picks up once we have the chance to see through the eyes of the main character, Tobin.

In quick summary, Tobin is born into a world where female children of the royal line do not survive. Her uncle seized the throne against the well-known prophecy that as long as a daughter of Thelatimos ruled,the kingdom of
Skala will remind untouched by their worst enemies. There was some justification in his taking the throne since his mother turned mad in her latter years, killing many. Still, to be born a girl is dangerous, so before her birth, Tobin's father conspires with a wizard to perform a magic on the baby to hide her as a boy. Of course, this means her twin, a boy, must die because they need some of his skin to complete the spell. So, no one knows except for the few present at Tobin's birth. Even Tobin believes she is a boy...and her twin remains to haunt her. As he/she grows can they hide her true self from her uncle and his wizards? They will kill her if they find out.

This story is thrilling and engrossing once you get past the first few chapters. I can't wait to read the next one!
This is a meaty, muscular fantasy. Strong female characters without any cliches. Neither totally innocent nor unredeemably evil, a host of complex, realistic and well-developed female and male characters emerge. Secrets are a major theme of this story, and the layers of secrets are peeled away very slowly, with plenty of suspense. It's got all the color and pomp of epic fantasy castles, banners, sigils, swords, doughty steeds and loyal squires. But it has a dark side. Deeply, profoundly, sadly dark—fueled by the sacrifices of well-meaning people who cannot see clearly despite their oracles and visions and informants. I turned the last page and didn't wait a minute before I hit "buy" to download the second in the triad, "Hidden Warrior." I don't know why it took me so long to find this series, but I'm glad I did.
I was not expecting a lot of this book. Obviously I purchased it, but with the understanding that if it was nail-bitingly awful, I'd return it. So the fact that this book turned out to be a solid slow-burner with some very interesting questions was a pleasant surprise indeed. There are some notable issues in the narrative for me -- I didn't like how Lhel was written as it came across as kind of.... racists maybe? An awkward social comment wedged into the book, anyway. I also didn't really like the initial setup -- it seemed unlikely as a plan. However, Ki and Tobin are fascinating, Tharin and Rhius are interesting and the portrayal of life is very believable.

I did NOT like the cliff-hanger ending, and I didn't like how the male/female flip-fliopping was handled. It felt unrealistic to me, and also like some potentially awkward social commentary. I liked the story enough that I'm going to give book two a go.
