radiansreads's review against another edition
5.0
Blud and Magick is a fascinating story of a teen girl, Darla Summer, who had no idea of her origin. For her whole life, she believed that she was a normal girl, with no magical supernatural abilities at all. Well, she's about to find out how wrong she was when she moved to enrolled to yet another new school.
From the first chapter, I knew the Blud and Magick would pull me in instantly. The story is fast-paced, and full of actions and magic. I love how the author kept on switching between witty humor and action-packed adventure. It kept the story flowing seamlessly without getting boring. In fact, the excitement kept me up all night as I devoured the book page by page.
There was a bit of a romance at times, but it wasn't really the main focus, which I so do not mind at all. I do love the minor characters, including Balthazar, Artemis, and the Craven brothers. Especially the Craven brothers. It's a bit saddening though, that we couldn't get more of them. It just wasn't enough. Their friendship with Darla started off the wrong foot, but as they get closer, the relationship blossomed into a sweet, sibling kind of friendship. Well, with the exception of Cirrus, hopefully. Sometime along the way, the characters found a spot in my heart. It's very easy to get attached to them, even Gareth and Lance, surprisingly.
I also love the concept of Darla being created as the counterpart of the total villain, Alrad Remmus. Now, I'm not sure if the myth of the Gods and Alpha really did exist, but I find it really intriguing. If it does, then I'd probably for hunting for more of those. There's the Sages, each with their unique powers, and very different characters. Among them all, my personal favorite would be Balthazar the Beautiful. Oh, how much I love this vain Sage.
Anyway.
The ending was a bit abrupt and I felt that it came all too soon. I crave for more of Darla's adventures, and blooming romance. Plus, the plot twists didn't really do us justice, throwing in more questions instead of answering them.
Heart-wrenching, hilariously ridiculous, and plain, badass butt-kicking. Either way, Blud and Magick can really, really play with your feelings, making rollercoasters sound like a teeny, tiny thing in comparison. Not that I have been on one. 5 stars!
