Summary

Romeria has fled Cirilea as a traitor. Zander has sacrificed his crown to save her life but dreads what her existence means for the future of his realm. They both know that no immortal will ever welcome her as Islor's queen. Side-by-side as outcasts - yet with a growing distance between them - they watch as a new threat to the kingdom unfurls, one larger than they could have imagined.

Guided by an uncertain prophecy and with their allies rapidly losing faith, their company journeys to the Venhorn Mountains in search of answers. Yet with Romeria struggling to wield her newfound abilities and the mortal rebellion growing in strength, it may already be too late.

Review

I waited to read A Curse of Blood and Stone months after I finished the first book in the series, because I assumed that I was the last book. Imagine my surprise when I realized that I had overlooked the fact that there was at least one more book coming out. Unfortunately, I realized it too late. And once I had started reading this one, I was sucked in and finished it in one sitting. So now, I’m laying on the floor rocking back and forth, unsure how I’m going to be able to survive until September. It’s going to be absolutely madness.

I really did enjoy A Curse of Blood and Stone. At first, I was a little bit afraid that because I had waited to read it that I wouldn’t remember anything from the first book. I was wrong. It was easy to get sucked back into this world, and like with the first book I was entertained and on the edge of my seat.

The last time we saw these characters, Romy and Zander (plus others) were escaping Cirilea. In summary, this book is a long journey of the characters getting to one place. And that might sound boring, but I promise it’s not. There is so much goodness in here with the world building, the addition of new characters, the battle, the sworn worthy romance. Romy is still very much trying to piece together everything that has occurred and who she is, and then Zander is still confused with his feelings towards her. Both of them are in a difficult situation, but they do make big strides with themselves and their relationship in this book.

Final Thoughts

I can’t stop thinking about A Curse of Blood and Stone. It may be a book about a long journey, but it's a good book about a long journey and a perfect setup for what’s to come.
