A review by novelhaus
A River of Royal Blood by Amanda Joy

4.0

I think this was a solid start to what should be a great series! Let's see, there was culture, there was magic, there were north african roots, there were twists- this book definitely delivered. The characters were pretty good too! I definitely rooted for them and felt connections, though I did feel they fell flat in some places.

The story was also one that moved quick. It was a page turner for sure and I never found myself getting bored or wanting to put it down and pick up something else.

Overall, strong start and I cannot wait to see what happens next!
