The mythology developed is cool, unpredictable, and wise. This world feels completely real and lived in. Nettle and Bone feels fresh and imaginative, and in only 250 pages I feel like the author immersed me in enough lore for an entire series. Marra and her friends are each brave and smart in their own, non-flashy ways. The story follows a princess, a witch, a soldier, a godmother, a possessed chicken, and a dog made of bone who all set out to kill an evil prince to save Marra’s sister. Nettle and Bone has one of my favourite fantasy tropes: found family. I’ve read Kingfisher’s horror fiction before, but not her fantasy, so I didn’t know what to expect - and I absolutely loved this.
Nettle and Bone is a wonderful dark, imaginative fairy tale about characters I want to be friends with.
