A review by rivalreads
Isle of Blood and Stone by Makiia Lucier

5.0

makiia lucier I bow down to thee. after reading year of the reaper in one sitting, i rushed to find everything else makiia lucier has written, and i somehow fell in love with these characters and this story just as much as year of the reaper! mercedes is one of my favorite characters i’ve discovered this year. the beach scene?? i was YELLING

how does she make me this attached to characters and worlds in the span of one short standalone* novel??? ma’am teach me your ways

*there is a sequel that takes place after a time jump and focuses on a different character but alas my library doesn’t have it so I haven’t read it yet!! but I can’t wait to

I recommend this one if you like
- spooky/supernatural medieval mysteries
- friends to lovers
- books that just have that chemical x that makes them readable in one sitting
