A review by git_r_read
Bloodring by Faith Hunter

5.0

I do love Faith Hunter and have had this and it's follow-on, SERAPHS, on Mt Git'r'Read for some time. Not sure why though. I bought them both at the same time intending to immediately dive in. And then didn't. always at the top of the stack on the top shelf, but I never felt completely in the mood to start reading.
Until the other day....
And now I want to go home and the get the second one and plunge in ASAP.
A fine fantasy mixture of post-apocalypse, angels and magic, the story moves pretty fast. I really admire the main character, Thorn. She is a mage in hiding. She left the safety of the Enclave where mages are revered and kept, but something happened to Thorn and she had to leave. She's found serenity in a small mountain town, but she has to keep her magic hidden. The rest of the world fears, even reviles, mages. They revere the angels.
It's an interesting look at what can take place at any time and any place.
Action and magic and angels....really cannot wait to see what happens next.
Definite recommend.
