A review by cdiviakauthor
Of Blood, Bones, and Truth by T.M. Ledvina
4.0
3.75/5 (rounded up for Goodreads)
An engaging debut, and sci-fi isn't my preferred genre. Kudos to Ledvina for their world-building, expansive and well rounded. It would be apparent to any reader that the author considered all elements and applied them with depth. Additionally, the relationship between Kellan and Cassian progressed organically and focused on the connection, which sometimes gets lost in most books. Not to mention, I like a good mystery.
However, the book's length put me at the risk of a reading slump from the sheer volumes of information to process. Having all the information and glossary at the front matter was a detriment to my reading experience since I kept trying to recall everything I read and felt a lot of gaps. But, overall, it was a great debut.
