A review by bookishinsomniac
Oathblood by Mercedes Lackey

adventurous medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? Plot

            Oathblood, an anthology of stories about Keth and Tarma before during and after the events of the other Vows and Honor stories, had several hits and misses for me. 

            Pros: 

·      I finally got to read the meeting of Keth and Tarma and what finally started their journey together which is what I’ve been missing since the beginning. 

·      Epilogue- The ending story was also the ending I wanted to Oathbreakers. 

 

Cons: 

·      Other stories- Besides the first and last stories, I thought this anthology was somewhat pointless. Half the stories were based off of things we had already read in the other books. As much as I like reading Tarma and Keth’s stories there was just no overarching storyline which I don’t enjoy as much. 

 

I’m giving this book 2.5/5 stars. For me this whole book could’ve been taken out and the first story could’ve been a prologue, and the last an epilogue and it would’ve had the same effect.
