michaelasjourneyintobooks 's review for:
Bloodchild
by Anna Stephens
*I would like to thank Netgalley and the HarperCollins UK for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review*
*May contain spoilers for previous books in the series*
This is how you end a series and break my heart into tiny little pieces. This book was action packed from the start and will keep you on the edge of your seat from beginning to end. This is also the most anxiety provoking series I've ever read and I love it.
This book starts off not long after Darksoul ended. The Mireces have taken control of Rilpor but in doing so they have lost one of their gods, The Dark Lady. However, they have a plan to get her back and consolidate their rule throughout Gilgoras. Despite their massive losses Mace his the last of his Rankers and the Wolves, with the help of the Fox god, are determined to foil these plans and get rid of the Red gods once and for all.
I think what I love best about this series is that no one is safe and you have no idea what will happen next. You really have no idea what side is going to come out on top at the end and I felt that this really helped to keep you invested and engaged in the story.
And then of course we have our amazing cast of characters. These characters are all so well fleshed out and Anna Stephens did such a good job at ensuring that they all had a distinct voice and I just love the fact that you get povs from characters on both sides of the war which really gives you a better insight in to what each side are fighting for. They also broke my heart continuously throughout this book.
Like the previous books in this series this book is very dark and has many trigger warnings: graphic violence, murder, torture, slavery, attempted rape, rape, death of a loved one and religious sacrifice
.
Overall, this was an amazing ending to an even better series and I gave it 5 out of 5 stars.
