Blood Song by Anthony Ryan
3.0

Ok sooo it was good but ....
I had higher expectations. The first half of the book I loved. I mean the comradeship between the brothers and the training, hints of love. But the second half was when the the political aspect came in. That was where I lost a lot of interest because it dealt with a lot of vaelin’s guilt from the political war and following the king. The fact that it was going into politics didn’t bother me, it was now the story in itself was where I lost interest cause I thought it was going to take a different direction. This really disappointed me and so that’s why I didn’t give it 5 stars. I live vaelin as a character and want more of him but I hear the books that follow are multi-perspective and so I probably won’t be continuing the series. I also hate how barkus like turns out to be bad cause he’s like possessed or smth. Anyways still thought it was a good book and had excellent pace however the second half really let me down.
