Rea and the Blood of the Nectar by Payal Doshi
5.0
*Review* 5/5 Stars!
This novel was so fun and I’m so glad I got the chance to read and arc, so thank you to the publisher for the opportunity! I immediately loved the main character Rea. She had so much room for growth and I think that the issues she grappled with throughout the novel are very relatable. The way she grew throughout the novel was also soooo satisfying for me. It was so natural and it made just fall in love with her more and more. I also thought the side characters were great and the plot is one that I’ve seen echoed in other novels, but this author put her own spin on that so it remained original and didn’t go in directions I was expecting.
I thought that the themes of family and friendship and selflessness were really powerful, but the surface level of this novel was also just plain enjoyable. There was so much creativity in the magical land and the creatures that Rea encountered. Overall, this book was just so much fun to read and I will definitely be looking forward to it’s sequel! I highly recommend this to anyone who loves Rick Riordan/Rick Riordan Presents novels or fun MG adventures!
QOTD: Who is a character you love despite their many flaws?
AOTD: Is it basic for me to say Kaz Brekker? He certainly has flaws, but I love his character just the same. And no I haven’t seen the show yet so don’t say any spoilers!!
