A bit difficult to get into compared with other books of Paticia's that I've read. I felt that there where to many point of views so it was difficult to really connect with the characters. Plus I don't think the setting or the plot was really my thing. ( ) As with all of McKillip's books, it was beautifully written and an unusual tale, in this case about a vaguely steampunk fantasy world and a princess archaeologist, her dilettante bard boyfriend, and an oddly threatening stranger. However, I have a big bone to pick about this odd stranger. We read the whole book with him being presented as threatening, dangerous, unknown, and at the end of the book not only do we still not know who he is, but apparently he's not actually a bad guy, and they all play their harps together and he goes home--or wherever. To say that the ending is disappointing is a huge understatement.
I’ve been reading Patricia McKillip’s books for more years than I want to admit at this point, and The Bards of Bone Plain has everything that has kept me coming back to them again and again, refined, distilled, and that much more potent. World Fantasy Award–winner McKillip (The Bell at Sealey Head) offers a rich, resonant story of poetry, riddles, mystery, and magic. PrijzenOnderscheidingen
Scholar Phelan Cle is researching Bone Plain--which has been studied for the last 500 years, though no one has been able to locate it as a real place. Archaeologist Jonah Cle, Phelan's father, is also hunting through time, piecing history together from forgotten trinkets. His most eager disciple is Princess Beatrice, the king's youngest daughter. When they unearth a disk marked with ancient runes, Beatrice pursues the secrets of a lost language that she suddenly notices all around her, hidden in plain sight.
