Blade of Dream by Daniel Abraham
4.0
Thank you to Daniel Abraham, Orbit, and Netgalley for giving me an eARC of Blade of Dream in exchange for an honest review.
This book surprised me. The concept of the Kithamar series is so unique, with each book taking place over the course of the same year. However, each book follows a different set of characters over the course of the same year. In order to get the full picture of what happened during that year and to get the answers to all your questions you have to read the entire series. Yet, it does not feel like you are reading the same story. I was able to predict some events because I have read Age of Ash, however much of what happened was new to me.
Personally, I enjoyed Blade of Dreams so much more than Age of Ash. The story as a whole had a different feel to it. While Age of Ash was more plot driven, Blade of Dreams was more character driven, something I greatly prefer in stories. If you did not love Age of Ash, I would highly recommend giving Blade of Dreams a try because it was great. Just be warned that this book is a slower read during the first half, however the second half is one that you will fly through if you are willing to stick with it.
