The Queen of Blood
by Sarah Beth Durst
This was a great first intro to a new author and trilogy. This is the first book I have read by this author. I really appreciated the fast pace without the slow buildup that is found in most fantasy books I have previously read. The author does a phenomenal job of pulling the reader into the story. The problems in this world are revealed as the plot unfolds.
I also appreciate that the heroine is a flawed person. She is very relatable to a lot of people. She doesn’t have the natural talents to work with the spirits of this world. However, she doesn’t let that stop her. She has perseverance and continually tries her hardest even when it would have been easier to just give up. No one, other than her family, was supportive of her striving to reach her goals. She just worked at it harder until she finally found what worked for her.
The author did great reveals as the story progressed. The ending was a little predictable but the how was not. I really enjoyed the journey even with some predictable occurrences, the hows made it worthwhile to read. I would recommend this book.
