Description

When Dominic's children are kidnapped by raiding pirates, Gabrielle and Feolan find themselves drawn into their most frightening adventure yet, a sea journey into unknown lands. The adventure takes a deadly turn when the Gray Veil, a plague that slowly chokes its victims, strikes the harbor town where the children have been taken. Gabrielle's healing powers are needed as never before, and in the end, it seems, she must choose: she can only save one, her husband or her niece.

I certainly enjoyed this third book in the series, which occurs seven years after the end of book 2. In Bonemender's Choice, Dominic's children, Madeleine and Matthiew are kidnapped by pirates. A small group of characters assembles to rescue them and bring them back home. The children are taken to the pirate stronghold where Madeleine becomes ill from a deadly plague sweeping the island. This brings us to Gabrielle's choice, two of those she loves are ill and who does she heal first,knowing that it may mean the death of the other.
I thought that the characters in this third book were interesting and well developed. However, I do wish that there had been more interaction between Gabrielle and Feolan , but regardless of that, I certainly show more enjoyed the fast paced storyline, which does a good job of wrapping everything up at the end.

Well, the complaints I had about the previous books in the trilogy lacking danger - they've all been address here. The story is set seven years after the previous novels, and follows the fate of two children who are kidnapped by raiders, and taken to be sold as slaves in a distant country. Our heroes from the previous book set off as a disguised rescue party.
The feel reminded me a little bit of Tamora Pierces's Tortall stories.

The third book in the Bonemenders series. When Gabrielle's niece and nephew are kidnapped by pirates, Gabrielle and Feolan journey to unknown lands to try and save them. Unfortunately a plague, the Gray Veil, is spreading throughout the town where the children have been taken and it is like nothing that Gabrielle has ever seen before. A good read.
