Blood of the Earth by Faith Hunter
4.0
Great start to a new series
I've read all of the Jane Yellowrock series, whose world Soulwood is set in, so I feel like I have a decent feel for Ms Hunter's writing style. I almost gave up on Jane early on because of the overly descriptive sections of the books, but I liked the characters, especially Rick LeFleur who is now in Soulwood's world, so I stuck it out and the descriptions became shorter and a little less often. Apparently the overly descriptive style is how Ms Hunter builds her worlds, because those extremely long, overly done descriptions were back in Blood of the Earth. At one point I noticed one descriptive paragraph was longer than the page of my kindle. I'm going to stick it out with this series, hoping that it does as Jane's did and evens out, because Nell is just too interesting to give up on this early in the game!!
