A Curse Carved in Bone: Book Two of the Saga of the Unfated

Words can not describe how good this book was, I read it in a surprising short time it’s only because I couldn’t put it down. The only thing I was disappointed about was that there isn’t going to be a 3rd book in this beautiful well written series but I digress, I understand that this was the ending of their journey but I didn’t want it to me.

I thought that this sequel wraps everything up quite nicely. I loved the way the author brings a relationship in tatters back together, and the twist was quite unexpected. One of my favorite book couples!

The plot was so surprising and such a whirlwind to read! I was not expecting for the twist to happen. That being said, I do think the handling of Bjorn and Freya's relationship seemed a bit rushed. No matter. It was a wonderful conclusion to the duology. 🤗💖

I really enjoyed this book. It started off a little slow for me, but once it hit the halfway point, it took off. The pacing picked up, and I found myself way more invested in what was unfolding. The world-building is rich, and the characters continue to grow in ways that feel authentic and layered.And that plot twist? Whew. I did not see it coming at all. It completely threw me—in a good way. It made me want to go back and reread certain parts to see what hints I might’ve missed. The twist added so much depth to the overall story, and it gave me a whole new appreciation for how things were set up.

I can't stress enough how much I love Danielle Jensen and the stories she weaves. I also have come to realize that duologies are my favorite length of book series, and she excels at them. This story was a perfect ending to the duology with a very satisfying wrap up for all the characters. Throughout the book I was silently screaming at Bjorn to just use the oath to command Freya, but then I felt bad once Harold's plot twist came to light. Sorry Bjorn! I definitely didn't see Harold's past coming, and I was very pleasantly surprised at how surprised I was by that twist. I was also glad that after all the page time Hel got that Hlin made a massive appearance at the end to help save Freya. Throughout the book I kept questioning why we hadn't seen Hlin appear to help, so I was glad she got her time to shine. Freya and Bjorn being called back to battle in the last scene was so fitting for their characters, and it seemed like the perfect way to end the book. What a great unique story and another home run by Danielle L. Jensen ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
