"The Bone Maker is an early contender for my favorite fantasy novel of the year. In a shelf-filled with multi-volume fantasies it is not only refreshing to see and enjoy a single-volume Epic Fantasy novel, but truly something special for the book to be this amazing. I can probably count on one hand other single volume Epics that have enthralled me as much and that have been as high quality as this novel. Highly, highly recommended." - SFFWorld
"Exquisite worldbuilding and inventive, macabre magic system... Durst's fans will be delighted." - Publishers Weekly
"Durst displays a mastery of emotional resonance throughout the book, bringing each character's scars to the surface even in moments of levity...There's power in these bones." - BookPage
"This was a fast paced and action packed standalone fantasy novel that I thoroughly enjoyed...I loved all of the characters as they had big personalities and had their own distinct voices...Overall, I'm pretty chuffed with this standalone." - Adeel Reads
"Sarah Beth Durst is an amazing author. She is, hands-down, my favorite current author-and The Bone Maker shows me why once again...you'll find yourself whisked away to a world worth visiting, filled with heroes worth admiring in all their imperfect glory." - Geek Girl Riot
