brittp26 's review for:
Of Wicked Blood
by Olivia Wildenstein
Thanks to Olivia Wildenstein and NetGalley for the advanced audiobook copy!
If you’re a fan of magic, curses, and heroes going through a series of trials that bond them in ways they don’t expect, then this is the book for you. I’ve been a fan of Olivia Wildenstein since I read her book Feather (and its sequel Celestial) a few months back so when I got an opportunity to listen to this book via NetGalley before its release on February 2nd, 2021, I jumped at the opportunity. I had high hopes and WAS NOT DISAPPOINTED. I started off listening for an hour at a time while walking my dog and got so invested, I ended up listening to it at work (luckily my job lets me stick in headphones while I’m doing things). The story follows Slate, our hero who grew up in foster homes, discovering where he came from and returning home to learn more about his family history and begin school. The dual perspective also follows Cadence, the daughter of the Dean who grew up on stories of magic and the Quatrefoil responsible for the loss of magic in the world until the 4 pieces are reconnected again. As the characters face their demons during their trials to obtain each piece, they have to quickly learn to rely on each other if they want to survive.
This book drew me in so quickly and I became so invested in these characters stories and trials. If you enjoyed Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire, this book is for you! I tried to pace myself and got so invested that I ended up listening to the second half in two days. I cannot wait for the second book to be released and also may or may not have pre-ordered the kindle version as well. If you’re new to Olivia Wildenstein and Katie Hayoz, this book will draw you in and I already am excited to read more by both of these authors! This book was a definite 5/5 and I am (im)patiently waiting for the second book to be released.
