A review by bigbear73
Blood Song by Anthony Ryan
5.0
One of the greatest things that can happen as a reader is to stumble across a new book, and not only have it be good, but fantastic. That is exactly what happened to me when Blood Song was recommended to me by a Goodreads fantasy group.
With complex, memorable characters, an intriguing plot that keeps the pages turning and the reader guessing, Ryan spins an elaborate tale about a land with a rich history full of magic, intrigue and more than it’s share of secrets. The tale centers on our hero (anti-hero?), Vaelin, and leads us through his adventures, trials and triumphs.
This book is so rich and vivid, it’s a struggle for me to give a review that will do it real justice. Just trust me when I say, if you have any interest at all in amazing storytelling, particularly in the fantasy realm, this is a must read.
