His Holy Bones (The Rifter)

His Holy Bones - Ginn Hale So remember the Rifter buddy read that started at the beginning of September? Yep, those are crickets you are hearing over at the Rifter buddy read thread in Best M/M Series group. While most everyone seemed to have dropped off to other reads, I marched on and finished the series. While I had a slow start, I packed books 4-10 in the last couple weeks of October.

The Rifter is a clever story that plays fast and loose with time and space. It's a story that will keep you squinting and wondering what is going on. It's story that rewards patience, as questions are answered but no sooner than necessary. It's a story of love and bond between a Rifter and a Kahlil. The Rifter is served up in 10 novella-sized installments and is really quite good, especially if you are a fan of the fantasy genre.

What did I think? I put it solidly between 3 and 4 stars on my completely undocumented subjective rating scale. It was good enough to keep me going, which says something. It was good enough to keep me interested in the relationship between John & Kyle. And it was good enough for me want to find out how it all ends up. Yeah, it has a lot going for it. Props to Ginn Hale for weaving a clever mulit-layered story across multiple times and worlds. Her writing is quite readable, especially when it comes to the action and other fantastical things described in the world of Basawar. I highly recommended for those who like m/m in a fantasy setting.

I want to give a HUGE thanks to Xing who kindly answered all my "what the heck is going on" questions without spoiling anything.

By the way, I generally don't do gifs, but I saw this and immediately thought of Ravishan stepping out from the gray space.
