The Second Blind Son by Amy Harmon
5.0
I absolutely loved The First Girl Child so when I heard there was to be another book in the series, I was delighted.
The Second Blind Son’s story runs alongside TFGC, it’s not a sequel. It skips back to when Banruud is trying to break the curse that has plagued Saylok. The only girl born is Alba and he is to take a girl from each clan to live at the Temple and be protected.
Ghisla is a Songr with a beautiful singing voice, but all of her family died, she is the last one from her village to survive. She wants to die too but she is rescued by Hod. He is blind but gifted. He was rejected as a Keeper but he has been taught the runes and hopes to return to the Temple. The two become great friends with an unbreakable bond.
There is fighting between the clans, and blood will be shed. Oh brave, brave Hody, you sweet, lovely guy.
Amy Harmon is a master storyteller. Once again, I felt like I was on Temple Hill with them all with my heart in my throat as I watched battles raging and arrows flying. I already loved Bayr and Ghost and Dagmar, now I have all the love for Hod and Ghilsa too.
If you read TFGC, you sort of know where the plot will go but it’s still an amazing adventure that takes a completely different path. Fantastic read. Just fantastic.
