The House of Dragon Blood by B.C. FaJohn
5.0
You might like this book if you like books like The Witcher, LotR, and Game of Thrones! The worldbuilding is immersive, the characters are richly developed, and the storytelling is enthralling, making it a must-read high fantasy novel. I wasn't even halfway through the book and knew I was going to love this series and immediately purchased book two. We alternate mainly between Varin and Cateline's POVs, but we do get an Aiora chapter which sheds even more light into the story as secrets continue to unfold.
There are various forms of evil in this story. Between battling their own inner demons, afraid of what others will think of them when they think the worst, there is political evil as kings seem to have their own agenda and some more twisted than others, and magical evil. Evil isn't coherently good or evil, it's really a matter of how you choose to see it.
I am very invested on how Aiora's story is going to go down and to know what was going through her mind to betray Thaddius and Varin, the two people that had considered her their friend. It's been interesting watching Varin fight how he feels about the situation. I am looking forward to book two!
