trinforeman 's review for:
The Queen of Blood
by Sarah Beth Durst
Unsurprisingly, I believe I have stumbled onto a new favorite. After reading The Bone Maker, I had an idea that Sarah Beth Durst would be an author that I continued to enjoy and picked up this series. I am happy that I did.
One of the things I like most about Durst's writing is that it flows so well. It makes for a compulsive and addictive read. Her books are hard to set aside for any amount of time and this is no exception. Her writing also plays to my specific tastes. I've stated many times that I don't like a lot of flowery, unnecessary description or "filler" pages. Durst never does this. Her plots and storytelling remain clear and consice while still delivering that epic fantasy feel to her novels.
Her magic systems are always simple as well. They don't need over explanations to ensure the reader understands what is going on. All magic has a cost. Elementals exist. Simple. Easy.
I am excited to continue with the rest of the series, and Sarah Beth Durst had now become an auto-buy author for me.
