Song of Blood & Stone by L. Penelope

*I received an ARC via Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. Thanks for the free book!*
This was enjoyable, yet not a very surprising read. The main elements are: two countries divided by a magical barrier, a girl fighting for her home, a wounded soldier fighting for his life, and a sister fighting for her sister's child. There is also a not surprising romance in there.
Yet the characters are more interesting than you would first think. The world building has a lot of potential, the underlying ideas concerning racism are super interesting, making this more than just your random fantasy novel. I grew to like all characters even though there were no surprising plot twists. Sometimes it's nice to be caught up in a well written story with a prince. :D
I am looking forward to #2!
