heyt 's review for:

Blood Song by Anthony Ryan

4.0

I loved this book once it actually got going. I had a little bit of trouble early on because the italics and the framing narrative kind of annoyed me. Vaelin is a character that's easy to like and watching him grow into himself through the order and it's trials was a really good read. I found most of the characters likable and I feel they each had their good and bad like all people do. I have to say as soon as I saw the appendices at the end I was sad it was over and I now need to relentlessly pursue the next one in the series.
