The Judas Blossom by Stephen Aryan

4.0

[4.2; Bartek's review]

The book is very well written with excellent pacing.
the historical elements to the story were very well explained and the POVs were well balanced.

I only have 2 small complaints. I, personally, didnt like the introduction of magic in this book. i felt that the realistic aspects could have continued throughout the book and it would have been just as good if not better.
On a minor note, the moves in Kokochin's fight scenes being described as animal names etc were not my thing, i didnt enjoy reading them as much.

That being said, its a great introduction to a series with an exciting ending that makes you look forward to the sequel.
