An Echo in the Bone

I was so excited to read this book because I absolutely love the first 6 in the series. Unfortunately it def wasn't as good as some of her previous ones. There was a lot more of the other characters talking and switching around and mainly just a lot of info that I am not as interested in. Towards the end though it def picked up and became the books that I remember so I have hope for the next one (in a year...lol).

The 19th Wife

This is two different stories about members of the Mormon community "The Firsts" who escaped from the religion and what their experiences were within. It was interesting to a point, but kept jumping around and had a lot of extraneous information that was tiring to read and didn't add anything to the story. I was also confused throughout most of the story about who's point of view we were reading from or who they were talking about.

I believe The 19th Wife (a different one) is just a single story of one woman and then they took her story and combined it with a few so maybe just hers would be better, but I was not a fan.
