Blood Song
by Anthony Ryan
This is one of the best fantasy novels I have read in a long time. I'm not even quite sure what I want to say about it. I quickly fell in love with the character of Vaelin Al Sorna, and I loved all the twists and turns that happened throughout the story. Even now, after I've finished it, I almost want to pick it up and start again from the top, and re-read all the things I clearly missed during the first read through. I have to say though, my favorite character was definitely Sister Sherin. She was so amazing and strong, and I found myself shipping Vaelin/Sherin pretty early on. Not only that, but the brotherhood, and how deeply the bond between the brothers went. Another thing that I loved, was that, almost like a mystery novel, you can't really trust any of the characters in the book. Even though Vaelin felt deeply for his brothers and other supporting characters, the eventual betrayal of several characters were hard to predict and really awoke my emotions. Seriously not over at least one of them. I was on edge reading the entire story, and found that I couldn't put this book down until I had finished it.
I've read some not so great things about the sequels, which makes me a bit nervous to continue, but I've found that absolutely have to find out what happens, even if it makes me mad. I absolutely need to continue on in this universe! And so, I will.
