Boneland
On my train journeys yesterday I read Boneland, the last book in The Weirdstone of Brisingamen trilogy. I met the first book at school and liked it, the second as an adult and liked it less. So, I had mixed expectations of Boneland. Sadly, I didn't enjoy it and, frankly, struggled with it.
I've read glowing reviews about its literary merit and how it benefits from multiple re-reads. Also, that it was a bold, but excellent, choice to move to adult fiction to end the story. But, I like children's fiction and missed pretty much all the characters from the first two books.
I had more Alan Garner lined up for commutes as I've read very little... now I'm hoping they won't be like this one.
