A review by myzanm
Black Dog Blues by Rhys Ford

4.0

A near perfect book.
There were only a few minor things that bothered me. The first one was that we never got an explanation for all the things said in the elvish language, or rather nearly all. Also the mention of Kai's past abuse in the hands of his father bothered me. It was thankfully nicely done without details, but it still got to me. It also bothered me that we never met Ryder's sister.

What I did enjoy was so much more!
The world building! The characters! Newt!
I actually loved that there was a bit of heat between Kai and Ryder, but that Kai never let it get far. I was not disappointed that they didn't fall into each others arms at the end. It felt like a believable ending and a great starting point for the next book.
