Boys of Blood and Bone (Blog 3)


So, this blog is about the next chapters (15-21) and the questions I am left with, as well as what I would like to see happen in the later part of the novel.

Henry and Andy’s life seem to unfold together throughout the novel, introducing Janine and Cecelia. By moving the story away from Henry and Andy and follow Janine and Cecelia’s life would build on the story structure from the two males. Janine and Cecelia’s life are similar as they seem to not know who one another at the start of Henry and Andy’s journey’s, and later will hopefully meet ends and tell of their mysteries that haunt them. This shifting of the story was an excellent choice by Metzenthen, otherwise there would have been no mystery or climax to the story overall. There are many questions that I have at this stage of the book, like what happens to Andy in war and how does it feel when he finally dies during war? How is Janine relevant to the book, why is she still in the story? These questions are the two main questions that I am yet so eager to find out about. Later throughout the book, I hope to find out what actually happens to Henry and Janine, and how Andy finally passes away during war. 


But to find out I must continue reading the book.
