DNF @30%
The five Dunbar brothers live in a house without grownups and with
a collection of animals.
When their father returns, Clay's life changes.
The Book Thief is one of my favourite books so I was really excited
to read Bridge of Clay.
Bridge of Clay follows the Dunbar brothers and the history of their
family. The time jumps were confusing at times, especially with the
formatting of the eARC.
I wasn't keen on the writing style - things seemed really dragged out
and long winded, and not much happened.
I lost interest and decided not to carry on.
Unfortunately, this wasn't for me.
