I need the next one?

What I love the most about this series are the characters. Yes, the plot is well done, and it has twists and turns and wild action and magic sequences... but I really, really love the characters and their interactions. For this reason, the first 30% were hard to get through because of the lack of my fav characters and my fav interactions. But once a certain obstacle was overcome... I got all that I wanted and so much of it. I just adore the way Tracy Deonn writes emotional and intimate scenes and dialogues between the characters. They feel so real and believable. 

Themes of racism and grief are continued here, but I also liked how intergenerational trauma was interpreted and visualized in this book. And I loved the focus on consent and taking back control over one's body and life. Brilliant.

Bloodmarked hit the ground running, but lost some momentum in the middle. It started to feel a bit aimless. In the final third things picked up again, though, and my brain is broken and I need the sequel.

binayocheved's review against another edition

4.75

this one meandered a bit in the middle, and the end felt a little rushed (i think it was just the crammed exposition;

having a not-quite-there viewpoint character doesn’t lend itself to measured storytelling, but she did well with what she had

). but it was excellent despite that, and i’m excited for the next book!

i’m also giving a pass for the edward/bella vibes i got from too many of the sel/bree scenes, because like. they’re good tropes. But Also. let’s be real. that’s what they were.

AHHHHHHHHH HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO WAIT FOR BOOK THREE?!?!?!?! 😭😭😭 Such a great examination of grief. Deonn clearly understands how it feels to grieve, and it was such a gift to be able to read this in the thick of my own.
