The Blood King by Keith Ward
4.0
4.25/5 Stars
Wow. for such a short novel, it was jam packed with disturbing images and people. I'm intrigued to see where the next book takes us. In this novel we followed The Blood King and his tyrannous outlook of controlling the world. And with the power of Transfers (taking someone's life span for your own) he has able to put that plan into motion for a couple hundred years. But too many Transfers come with a toll-Transfer Sickness, which deteriorates the mind. The Blood King suffers from this sickness, but believes he can beat it by bathing in the blood of children.
Though there are other characters that we are introduced to throughout this novel, The Blood King is the most horrific. I like the mythology and creatures that Keith Ward has created for this world. So since I have the next book, I shall be continuing this series.
