On Wings of Blood by Briar Boleyn
1.0

I honestly don’t understand how On Wings of Blood got lumped in with Harry Potter or Fourth Wing in the marketing blurb. That comparison feels criminally misleading.

This book was such a mess—dare I say a garbage soup of ideas. Just because something sounds cool on its own doesn’t mean it belongs in the same story. The result was chaotic and juvenile, with absolutely no narrative focus.

I have never DNF'ed a book, but if I had, I should have for this one.

I kept reading hoping it would redeem itself—but it just… didn’t. There’s nothing I can point to as a redeeming factor except for that fun ritual party time.

Hard pass. Will I read the next one because I am a masochist? Probably.
