Hi, Carissimi,
Todays review is all about A Time of Blood by John Gwynne. This is the second book in the Of Blood and Bone series. The first book in the series is A Time of Dread and you can read my review here.
Defy the darkness. Defend the light.
Drem, Cullen and Keld have fleed the battle at Starstone Lake and on the way to the Order of the Bright Star to the warn them of the upcoming war Now Fritha, the demons’ high priestess, is hunting Drem’s party, trying to stop them warning other of the existence of her creature and the undead that have now risen.
On the run Riv struggles to understand her half-breed heritage. She is the living proof of the warrior angels’ biggest secret. A secret which could break their society in too . When she is found by the Ben-Elim’s high captain, her life will change for ever.
In secret the demonic forces have been multiply, and now they are ready for war. Sending a mighty war-host to overthrow the angel’s stronghold, to free their leader. All the allies of the Ben-Elim are under attach, will Drem and Riv help save their land? Can they stop the dark from rising?
A Time of Blood is an EPIC fantasy.
One of the amazing aspects of A Time of Blood, is the battle scenes. When I am reading them my mind is picturing the epic battle scenes seen in the Lord of the Rings films.
A Time of Blood has some great revelation, like double take, drop the book revelations. If it was t.v show those moment would be the cliff hanger moments, with dramatic music.
I am going to say this now if anything really bad happens to Hammer, there is going to be problems Mr Gwynne big problems. It a true talent to create a character that says no words but her actions make you love her. Hammer actions with another bear made me laugh out loud, she is a Bear with attitude.
I am looking forward to seeing what happens next with Riv and Drem, and hoping that two other character get their comeuppance.
My rating for A Time of Dread is 4.5 out of 5.
A Time of Dread is out in the world from the 16th and 18th April 2019, depending on which country you live in.
