Thank you Harper Collins and Edelweiss for an arc of Blood Scion; here is my honest review.
Blood Scion has become my new favorite fantasy book! The characters are complex, and even when I didn't agree with their decisions, I understood why they made them.
Slone is a great main character that is put through a lot but still holds onto her humanity as she is put through horrifying things.
There's a lot of twists with this story that I didn't see coming, and the ending left us off on a cliffhanger. Usually I can guess what's going to happen next, but I really have no idea where the story goes from here. This truly shows me how great of a writer Deborah Falaye is. I need book 2 now!
