Ivory and Bone did capture me from the very beginning at first. It's told in Second Person POV! Yes, it is! The prologue shows Kol and Mya in what appears to be a precarious situation. She asks him to tell her about the most marvelous day of his life, so he does. The story basically ends up being a love letter to Mya (who I didn't like at all). Although near the end when the story catches up to the prologue it switches to normal First Person. Boo.
I was expecting the plot to focus on a war between clans. Early on we learn that there are tensions between Kol and Mya's tribes, but then Lo shows up. At that point my interest had already been waning, but then Ivory and Bone completely lost me. Kol is just not very smart. He learns that someone is plotting a murder. What does he do? He approaches them, alone, and is like "Hey, are you plotting a murder?" Are you kidding me?! And the whole basis of this impending war was pretty silly. Live and let live, people!
Ivory and Bone was just not the story for me. The beginning is Kol complaining about Mya while simultaneously trying to get her attention. Mya is just rude and awful. She's been through some stuff, but that doesn't give you free reign to crap on people. And the story was really a Romance. I love Romance novels, but I don't think this was suppose to be one? But that's how it ended up, with kissing.
