The Blood Trials
by N.E. Davenport
Dear Deadly Trials and/or school,
I’ve decided this is a subgenera of fantasy- deadly trials or violent school that tries to kill all the newbies. It’s brutal and high impact. It toes the line of shock value over plot- and the gore 👀.
But, I will read every single one of these. Sure, you can say “it’s giving Divergent or Fourth wing” but each still has a unique twist on this popular trope. Plus, this puts the violence to Xaden’s Violence to shame!
This was seriously intense and a great NA fantasy. (I would not call this YA at all.) The heavy topics of racism and violence are in your face the entire time. Though I was ready for these poor characters to catch a break and for once not have to survive another vicious trial, I applaud the depth it gives the bigger picture and sets it up for a highly anticipated sequel. A story of revenge turned dismantling and destroying the corrupt system.
This had great political intrigue and twist I didn’t see coming!
I am more than ready for Ikenna to unleash hell.
