Isyllt is returned to her home after the failed mission of Symir. Her life seems back to the usual: she's doing her job, acting like she always did. But she isn't properly happy. When she's sumoned to investigate about the murder of a young prostitute, at the same time, a lot of shadows start to moving around the city: it's a mistery of profaned tombs and demons. 
 Downum didn't disappointed me, especially with her orientalish world, rich of actions, politcs and misteries. But I still have some issues with thi series. Even if I really enjoyed it, I had diffucult to connect with the character, even if they remain impress in my mind, and with the story itslef. 
 Sometime, there're to many feels, a loto of reflection about human nature but I also wanted to see more. It's kinda of love and curious relationship. 
 Talking about the characters, there are many females characters. That's is a thing that I enjoyed but also put in difficult. 
 And that's especially truthful when it comes to Isyllt. I'm a permanent single person and reading about all Isyllt's partners... I don't know. The thing doesn't bother me really, since she is not throwing herself inside the arms of random men that she doesn't even know doing that thinking that she's worthless.. even if she to that usually beacuse her heart is broken. But at the same time I cannot understand or understand her need of buddy just for having sex. Plus, one of her partners, even if she know him... wasn't the best choice and really right logic motive. I could have really killed her and she actually looked like a fool and quite a moron, especially when she's supposed to be clever. 
 I would have loved to see realy friendship with a man without the sex thing or the feels one. 
 But anyaway, she's a grow up woman and the fact that she has controlo over this thing was great. Talking more about the sex part, but more about the sexual orientation, Erisin is an amazing world. It's quite open to varius sex orientation. Most of the characters are bisexual and one of the coprotagonist is transgender. Savaedra is one of the most interesting characters and so it's her relationship with Nikos and Ashlin, the royal couple of Erisin. 
 Talking about intrigue, I'm really satisfaited. Everything was interesting, even if a bit slow, and quite complicated. So, losing a piace of the story or skip a paragraph it's a silly action to do. 
 So, The Bone Palace is an entertaining book, full of everything and with an amazing different world - no european atmosphere - but it also lack of the kind of epic feels that can make this book and the series be competitive against other big names, even if it's still a little gem.
