Description
The Prophet is dead. Ducky isn't ready. Ducky doesn't have a choice. Ducky doesn't even have a name anymore. The Prophet has been called home by the Gods, and the eyes of the Gods have turned to his daughter. They whisper in her ear, now. For a generation, her people have been following ancient instructions, carved on bone in a language only the Prophet can read, toward the Promised Land. Now their journey is almost over. And whatever lies between them and the place they will call Home. Be show more it deserts, legendary horrors, or the monsters men make of themselves, it is Ducky's burden to take them there. It is her blessing to take them there. Even if it costs her everything. The Prophet is dead. Long live the Prophetess. show lessTags

Competently written, but not heartily
“Fisher of Bones” is a practical and functional novel, but lacks depth of character or heart. When I realized that we weren’t going to see character development or conflict, I continued reading hoping the conclusion was worth the read. It was an interesting twist (that I should have seen coming), but not worth the ride. Not my cup of tea or preferred style.
