Feathers of Blood by Alice Ivinya
5.0
Now, I can’t reveal too much without spoiling, but here’s what you need to know:
With only two guards to aid her, Lady Brianna is cast from the Borderlands and made to find her own way. As she travels to find the voice she’s been hearing in her mind, things between Prince Jian and the Spirit-Beasts grow much worse.
Holy heck, this book was one wild rollercoaster… and I loved every second of it!!! I loved how confident Brianna becomes; she really grows into her own in this novel and I was so proud of her for it. Her wit and fire is matched by few.
As for Jian, I feel like we get more insight into his character as well. He made a lot of mistakes, but overall I think he means well, and he definitely never means to hurt anyone. By the end of the novel, I adored him. Definitely new book boyfriend alert!!!
Another element I actually really liked was how we learned more about the Spirit-Beasts, their customs, and the way their minds work. The Spirit-Beasts absolutely enrich the story and make it so much more than a simple Goose Girl retelling.
All in all, this book was brilliantly written, and I shall wait with bated breath for the third installment in this wonderful series.
