Priest of Bones

I truly do not understand the hype for this book. The characters weren't any fun to me, the world building was very small scale, the cussing was entirely too ubiquitous and just badly used in general (“burn the cunting thing down”) and child rape that was very much unnecessary. The latter issue was the last straw.

The book is told in first person which I usually enjoy if you make the main character have any redeeming qualities...this guy is just awful. He went off to war and came back and found that rival gangs have taken over much of his territory so he fights to get it all back.

When I heard this was like Peaky Blinders I was ecstatic because I love that show, this is honestly pretty similar but this book just couldn't enrapture me like the show could. Almost every single one of my friends on this app gave this 5 stars so I wouldn't base your desire to read this based off my review but I would go into it with lower expectations.
