The Boneless Mercies April Genevieve Tucholke Books

Boneless Mercies is one of my favorite reads of the year. First, it's written by April Genevieve Tucholke. I feel that her overall prose is "dashingly dark." For the most part, Tucholke is a fantasy writer, and from the stories that I have loved, she delves into a dark place and makes it beautiful. I originally fell in love with her writing when I first read Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea. My appreciation for her writing stemmed from there.

Boneless Mercies is an adventure that roams through Vorseland with the Mercies, a small band of death-traders who are doomed to deal quick, quiet, and merciful deaths for trade. Frey, Ovie, Runa, and Juniper are the warrior, the secret, the speed, and the Sea Witch. Together, they band together to fight the Jotund, and the outcome? A fight worthy of legends in Holhalland.

First of all, the Mercies are a formidable group. Not only did I relate to every single one of them, they gave me strength and inspiration. Together, they were a group of females that had respect not only for each other, but for their trade. Individually, I learned from their stories and also felt connected to them in their own way. And can we please give an applause to the fact that this warrior-cast is led by an all female cast?

Tucholke's prose always has a factor that contains an emotional sway. There's a relation that I correlate with Boneless Mercies to one of a somber song with minor chords. It gives me a tonal mood, adding another layer of this experience. I never once felt the pacing, and often I felt that I didn't have enough time in the day to absorb all the fine qualities of this story.

I loved every bit of Boneless Mercies, and I urge you to read it.

The Boneless Mercies April Genevieve Tucholke Books Reviews

Unique story, loved it.
This book was a last minute purchase. I enjoyed the story line but wouldn't reread it.
“Four Boneless Mercies stood at a crossroads near a hangman’s tree. It was like something from a Vorse saga. In their hands they held four weapons, freshly ripped from the grave.” 🖤 ⚔️🖤⚔️🖤⚔️🖤⚔️🖤⚔️🖤 Strong women who don’t need to be saved by anyone, who are the heroes of their own story, this book was filled with triumph, battles, and glory. Frey, Runa, Ovie, and Juniper are exactly the type of heroines needed for today. And always.
Does anyone know of a book with a similar feeling to this? I loved the comraderie and the tale of glory and adventure that focused on the connections between the main characters rather than using romance as the driving force. Preferably a book with female leads or at least female main characters. This book left an impact. I have no words for how amazing this book was. It was everything I didn't know I wanted in a book. The whole mentality of death and honor in this book was captivating. That might sound weird but I just loved how the mercies handeled themselves and how they took tragedy and made it something to honor and not to mourn. I also loved the portrayal of the two main evils because they were given a voice and the chance to have their story told. There wasn't just mindless destruction left and right instead the "villains" had substance. I can't even get out everything I wanted to say if you're wavering on reading it I highly recommend that you do.
Absolutely amazing book. It is a lyrical, beautiful story of sisterhood and self. I really hope the author writes more stories in this world about these characters. Can move a little slow at times and the characters could have been a touch more fleshed out, but the beautiful writing and strong story makes up for any flaws for me.
I loved everything about this book! The way the wandering Mercies have taken each other, wounded and damaged as they each are, and made a family they can rely on, standing up for and trusting one another in all situations gave me a fresh surge of hope. Their journey through their at times bleak world, seeing the injustices that befall girls and young women in particular, while plying a trade that wears on their souls only deepens their desire to make the world better, to slay monsters without becoming them. It was a gorgeous read that was necessary as oxygen. I loved it!
There is something about the prose that is so perfect. It's not flowery or lyrical or sumptuous. Instead, it calls to mind classical ballads. A bit spare, frank, straight-forward. But there's a beauty in it's simplicity and a special kind of weight or gravitas that the words hold. Captivating and inspiring.

Feminist in it's advocating of girls thoughts, longings, and dreams. The gender reversal is fantastic. I love how these girls are all so diverse and come from such different backgrounds, beliefs, and religions. They all come together in sisterhood to support one another's dreams. They all fight for glory and honor and a right to belong.

And they're not ruthless. I think that's the most empowering thing about them. They are killers. they are warriors. But they also see the humanity of their prey. hey understand the sacrifice they are making and that it is not done without purpose. They also see a bigger picture too. And that is something that I think is often passed over when told from a male warrior prospective.
