by Evie Manieri
A solid read, but did not stay with me after I finished it - good for voracious readers of epic fantasy, but does not cross the line into an excellent book.The Norlander fantasy race is interesting (somewhere between vampires and drow) and the world is well conceived, but some of the characters seem...
Fantasy at it's finest! Loved this book!!!
I actually really enjoyed this book. It kept me turning the pages! There are a lot of characters, so sometimes I had to stop and remember who was who. The sword names were a bit cheesy as well, but it was non-stop action and I think a very interesting world.

Not epic fantasy - just a long book with a couple of good ideas added to the usual same old and rather tedious writing.I had hi...
At first I felt lost. Loads of weird names. Freaking weird names. Really. For everything. Couldn’t remember anything. And the thing is, Blood’s Pride has a shitload of main characters. The point of view changed throughout the book more times than I could remember. It was overwhelming, especially sin...
