A review by bigbeardedbookseller
Isle of Blood and Stone by Makiia Lucier

4.0

A land devastated by betrayal, full of intrigue and beset by sea serpents.

Isle of Blood and Stone has been one of my favourite recent reads.

It is set in a low-fantasy setting with ghosts and sea serpents with as flavour of the Spanish main.

A mystery has to be solved and it falls to the son of a missing mapmaker to do so with the help of the daughter of an enemy and disgraced nation.

There are a lot of twists and turns, romance and swashbuckling, and a satisfactory conclusion.
