Bloodsworn by Scott Reintgen
3.0
Thanks to Netgalley for an ARC, all thoughts and opinions are my own!
Bloodsworn takes place just after the final events of Ashlords. This book takes a dramatic shift from the races to a revolution. Within 400 pages we get to see the three main charatcters figure out how to work together and change the world for the better. It was a hard shift to make for me, jumping from this adventure novel to one about liberation even though that is clearly where the story needed to go.
To be honest, reviews about sequals are always hard for me to write without including spoliers from the first book - but overall Reingten created a story that is easy to emerse yourself in. The magic that is used throughout the story is well done, and provides addition to the story instead of taking it over. This book is very much about the salvation of a dying world and taking back the one's power. If there was going to be a third one, I would read that too, but this is the perfect duology!
