The Queen of Blood
by Sarah Beth Durst
The Queen of Blood pleasantly surprised me. The magic system is one I haven't encountered before in my years of fantasy reading. I really enjoyed the magic and the way the world is set up.
The issue I had is that the writing style didn't allow me to really get to know any of the characters. There were some characters I could tell the author wanted me to empathize with, but I didn't feel as if she fully fleshed them out enough for me to care. Also--the ending didn't jive with me. I was fine with most of it except for the biggest part I guess. XD I don't want to give anything away.
Anyway, I own the next 2 books so I'll continue with the series. This book took me forever to read (or at least it felt that way), so I'm hoping the next two have a faster flow.
