A review by helene0707
Blood Queen Omnibus by Troy Brownfield, Dan Wickline
4.0
The low ratings worried me at first. 3 stars? I’m glad I gave this collection a shot anyway.
The story is set in a medieval world of magic. Witches have been hunted and been driven to extinction, especially the ones practicing the forbidden “blood magic”. When the king’s daughter falls ill, only the witch Elizabeth can help.
The story was consistent albeit a bit boring. The conversations were long, especially in the final volume, which left me a bit confused when the last volume ended as abruptly as it did. Don’t get me wrong, the ending makes sense, but I think the authors were perhaps expecting a longer series.
My one big negative remark is that the book doesn’t explain what “blood magic” actually is, which is my main reason for giving it 4 stars. The glyphs look fancy, but what are their boundaries and limitations? What do witches do with “blood”?
A solid work of 6 collected volumes. If medieval wizardry, castles and knights, and female empowerment are your thing, then this collection may be for you. Expect some wicked plotting.
