This book was very good but it didn’t hold my attention like the first book until the very end. If it had, I would of given it five stars. It has you wanting it to not end, but sadly, it has to. Have a wonderful day!

I’ve had this book for a few months now, but every time I went to pick it up, I knew that I wouldn’t be in the right mindset to read it. Finally, I felt ready to read it, and I’m so glad I waited. This book was good. I felt like everything came together and I feel satisfied with the ending.

I actually grew to love Pippa more in this book than the first one. About halfway through the book, I came to enjoy reading her perspective from third person, which I didn’t like in the first book. Adrian's character grew so much in this book and enjoyed his character more in this one as well. I think the author did a great job developing Pippa and Adrian’s relationship. I don’t feel like Imelda wasn't as much of a main character in this one, but I still enjoyed her perspective and it gave a great insight once all the characters came together.

While I did love this book and thought the ending was good, I would still love to see a spin-off. Maybe something from the characters’ children in the future. It doesn’t have to be a war or anything that they fight, but maybe an adventure they go on.

I received this book for free via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review>

"We danced the moon into coming out, the stars into shining. We danced to welcome a whole new world into existence. It is a song that no one can take from us now."

Wow, this was such a super fast paced, entertaining and above all: a refreshing/renewing read that surprised me in the best way possible!

The basics of the world, the writing, the characters and story-line is just as awesome as it all was in Ashlords, but the author managed to bring us a renewing 2nd installment, and taking things up to the next level, which was a magnificent surprise! All that I fell in love with in Ashlords was present, but then there's a great amount of 'newness' added to the mix story-wise that I truly wasn't expecting to get (don't want to spoil so I'll remain superficial here haha) and I couldn't get enough of it! I'm a bit sad it's just a duology and that it's all over now...

I seldom come across a follow up book that is able to surprise me in such a good way. This book was mostly everything I was hoping for to get beforehand; action, more in depth development, being able to see more of this fictional world and good/strong/solid character development. If you've loved Ashlords, you're in for a treat with Bloodsworn! Be ready to be amazed and above all: Enjoyyyyy, because this epic journey is over before you know it seeing it's super fast paced!

I buddy-read Ashlords last year with my friend Marylon, and we decided to buddy-read Bloodsworn as well which made this experience all the more fun! It's great to talk about the book in between reading-shifts and discuss together about what's all happening!

It was great, truly. But i feel there wasn't enough of a cost to the things they achieved. It was just to easy, with practically no cost or losses. That kinda ruined it for me. But other than that and the writing style, it was lovely.
