An absolutely exciting, adventurous fantasy with an excellent setting, I really liked Wildblood! I think there was a good combination of action and romance, and it read really cinematically. It touches on topics like colonialism, abuse, slavery, rape, and more, but it does so in a way that isn't too graphic for a young adult audience. I was also really intrigued by the magic and felt the story had interesting world-building. Overall, it was well done, though the writing seemed a bit rushed at times.

Thank you Netgalley for providing a digital ARC.
