Title: We are Blood and Thunder
Author: Kesia Lupo
Publication Date: April 4, 2019
In a sealed-off city, it begins with a hunt. A young woman, Lena, running for her life, convicted of being a mage and sentenced to death. Her only way to survive is to trust those she has been brought up to fear - those with magic.
On the other side of the locked gates is a masked lady, Constance, determined to find a way back in. She knows only too well how the people of Duke's Forest loathe magic. Years ago she escaped before her powers were discovered. But now she won't hide who she is any longer.
A powerful and terrifying storm cloud unites them. It descends over the dukedom and devastates much in its wake. But this is more than a thunderstorm. This is a spell, and the truth behind why it has been cast is more sinister than anyone can imagine ... Only Lena and Constance hold the key to destroying the spell. Though neither of them realise it, they need each other. They are the blood and they have the thunder within.
“I received a complimentary copy of this book. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own."
One of the strongest point of this book is the refreshingly unique World-building and intricate plot. It is effortlessly a page turner in every way you could imagine. And I could honestly say that this book is one of the best standalone books I have read so far for this year.
One thing I noticed about this book is how it gives me the feeling of the unknown. The story started out with a vague description about storm cloud. Where or Who started it and how was the biggest question I was so eager to find out that makes me crave for more chapters.
Fast paced, good writing style, and well thought storyline are the best assets of this book.
Overall, this book is definitely a must read! And I will definitely be checking out the Author’s next books.
A huge thanks @definitelybooks for sending me a copy for review! This book is available to all good bookstore. Be sure to grab your copy!
