A review by scribblesandknots
The Weight of Blood by David Dalglish

4.0

As many others have said, the main characters in this unique book are significantly lacking in what we'd normally recognize as morality. Still, I found myself rooting desperately for Harruq, and for Qurrah just because his redemption would help his brother. Even when the action was more gruesome than I really wanted to be reading, I stuck it out because I was thoroughly drawn in. The darkness wasn't what detracted from the story, however; I found myself occasionally wishing for more fully fleshed-out characters. Their motivations weren't always deep enough for me, and this - combined with the slightly inconsistent voice of a relatively new writer - pulled me out of the story just enough to put this book at four instead of five stars, for me.

I greatly look forward to continuing this series with the next book!
